iPod RIP

So the iPod is dead. The quote for repairs listed "multiple component failure" and a cost for components alone that would cost more than a new 30GB color screen model. Grrr - of course the device is one month out of warranty. Much as I loved it, the reliability concern is holding me back from going staight out to buy a new one. I'll be thinking carefully about the replacement, since I don't use itunes anyway, and especially because ?300 a *year* is too much for mobile music.

Actually a couple of weeks without any soundtrack has also been refreshing. The iPod backlash starts here.


Comments:
Finally got the iPod back for burial - unfortunately the disgnosis was no more forthcoming. So ?35 wasted. A bit of Googling around I think it's the hard drive - the battery seemed OK, and since the electronics worked otherwise, what else could it be?
