Title: Yet another 40g with recurring hard drive problems
Review: I was lucky enough to have an HP service contract that extends the warranty for 90 days after repair. My iPod 40g has failed for the 8th time in less than 2 years or like clock-work about every 90 days. Always the same "Sad Face" icon that will not respond to any of the simple procedures that Apple or HP propose to remedy the problem.I cannot understand why Apple has not instituted at least a trade-in program for this ultimate lemon. A recent survey showed that it failed at 10x the rate of the newer models. For me, I am not sure that I will ever buy an Apple product again regardless of a trade-in.I really have never understood the cult of Apple. It is no more reliable a product or more intuitive a product than anyone else. It is all Steve's PR.
