I got the old original iPod. The one with the swivle center, not the touch one. I still have it and it works awesome. I've had it for a year and a half? Supposedly the new iPod has a wicked shitty battery life.

battery life is junk. Which is a good reason why you should get an extended warranty on it.

I was looking into getting a 20gb nomad zen, a few of the reasons being because the battery is removable, and last over 12 hours without recharging, way cheaper, and slightly better sound.
But I decided to order the 10gb ipod. It doesn't look like the zen has good shock protection and isn't reccomended for jogging. The main reason I want an mp3 player is for skiing. The last mp3 player I had was an archos and that thing was sweet, but it shut off every time I go off a jump.

Yeah the new ones supposedly have lower battery life than the old ones, but still either pay the $15 for 4 year replacement at BestBuy or wherever, or just buy one of those kits from the net and replace the battery yourself when it eventually dies.

it's a vid about the shitty battery life and apple's extensive attempts (heavy sarcasm here) to help replace or fix it.
