Title: Be warned before you buy an ipod!
Review: I absolutely love my 40 gig ipod. I am very impressed with its design and ease of use compared to other mp3 players I have used.However, Apple's service is a joke. If your ipod needs service (and trust me, it will) Apple will send you a refurbished unit and they won't even switch out the hard drive. So you'll be reloading all of your data back to the device.The battery in an ipod can only be replaced by Apple. After about a year, your battery will wear out. Send it in for a new battery, and you're gonna get a refurbished unit, and you'll loose all of your music.Also, they break easily. I have heard a lot of reports of broken LCD screens and problems with head phone jacks. These weren't broken by mistreatment, these machines are just not durable at all. They are not made to withstand every day use. For the price, consumers should expect a whole lot more.Do some research before you buy. These machines are not made to last, and Apple will not help you.
