So i have got some christmas cash left over, and i am think of getting a 40GB ipod, but i have heard rumors that they are, unreliable.

I have also been looking at the Creatve zen touch, which seems good, but the ipod has a certain desire, that makes me want to get one.

Has any one had any problems with them?
Does the battery mess up after a year or so?
does the chip inside go after a while?

Any advice is a help! thanks

Smarter, and double the battery life.

Avoid iPods like the plague.

They've got great marketing, but that's about it...

They're overpriced and unreliable as you can't replce batteries once they die, plus the battery life is terrible compared to others. Go for a Zen, or that Sony one.

Don't let them fool you, they're just jealouse they don't have one.

I do, and I wuv it.

Not sure about the 40GB one, but my third generation 20GB one works great, even a year after I bought it.

Sure, the lifespan is short, but there are battery packs for that, and the new (fourth gen.) have a better one, but even so, it's not a big deal - buy a car-adapter? I mean, where are you going to need over 10 hours of battery life - and, if you do, just get the battery pack, with replaceable AAs. Even trains have plugs now...

And as for sound, it's not actually the iPod at fault, it's those crummy headphones. I have a nice pair of £35 SONY EX-whathaveyou in-ear headphones, and I only need it at around 1/2 - 3/4 volume...

Meh. Maybe you all just have bad hearing.

Don't get an ipod. You can better better mp3 players for less money.
