:werd: And I'm not surprised.
The same thing happened to the 3rd gen nano I got as a gift.

And it's not fat, it's just.... broad.. er. h:

I don't buy any ipod crap no more. I learn after spending hundreds of $$$ on new ipods that last 12month and 1 day. exactly 1 day after warranty expired everything would start fking up.
yup the 4th is new one i think, I really don't follow this crap no more.
damn apple just made it more difficult to replace the battery on the ipods. what a rip off.
YO thanks for the fast response, i am off to get this ipod on fire in the engineers room.

I have 5 iPods (3rd gen classic, 5th gen classic, 1st gen Touch, 2nd gen nano, 1st gen shuffle).

The oldest (circa 2003 or 2004) is still up and running with no issues.
