iPod number three
Good to see that as apple expands and becomes more of a force, they’re also starting to suck as much as microsoft. iPod number two (number one, bad hard drive after 6 months) has lasted only 2 months. weird whiny noise for two weeks, now only one of every 10 songs will play and it’s no longer recognized by itunes or the updater.
then, 6 attempts to use the online service form submission throughout the day failed on either the last or second to last page… which meant a good 5 minutes or so each try, filling out the same stupid information
so then a 30 minute wait on the tech support phone, only to be forced to run through ALL THE CRAP I’VE BEEN DOING ALL DAY AGAIN to convince them it’s really not working. Now I have to wait until monday to get the box to send it back to wait a week or two to get a new one.
which will probably break in a month or so as well.

What the hell are you doing to them? I’ve had 1 of each generation and they all have taken a huge beating and been fine. I did notice some problems with my last one when I was bike riding tho. It’s a little hard on the drive. The Mini seems to be a lot better choice for using while exercising tho. Otherwise never had an issue with any of em. You’re like Koga and his Jazz drives back in the day…

that’s what really pisses me off… i treat these things well. i’m careful with them, i don’t drop them…. fucking hell. if circular motion effects them, being in the pocket on the elliptical or bike for an hour every day… well that’s just lame.

thanks for admitting this isn’t working for you…especially since Jason is going to blame you for all your problems with it. I’m still waiting to buy one…way behind, but I can’t keep up with the learning curve. Dell huh? I usually think Dell anything sucks. Just out of curiosity, Brian…where’s Apple’s tech support located? I’ve gotten sort of opinionated about that lately.
