<p>I usally look products in terms of the fair weather friends approach. Every thing is great when it is working, but what happens if you have a probelm.</p>
<p>In the end I beleive that you get what you pay for. If you have a problem with your Ipod and you are under warranty (it really pays to spend the $59 for the extended warranty)if you have a problem with it you can return it to apply (they send you an overnight repack kit) or go to one of the Genius Bars and have it fixed or replaced with out a lot of hassle. If you make an appoinment on line and go to one of the genius bars they usually fix or replace it on the spot.</p>
