Apple iPod nano 3rd Generation Silver (4 GB) MP3 Player

My first Ipod nano lasted 6 months. The latest 3rd generation 4 gb lasted 1 month. Sent it back as it was dead and they sent it right back saying they couldn't duplicate the problem.

Called back as it was still dead. They then stated that they detected water damage and that I could pay (just about) full price for a new one.

I was so careful to ensure that it did not come into contact with any water. Had a case for it and may only have been exposed to a bit of perspiration.

I have a C2 Tech MP3 player from the Superstore which cost $19 for a 1GB. It has been going strong for ages in much worse environments.

My recommendation. Apple products have proven to be high cost and cannot withstand much in the way of outdoor environments. Keep them indoors!

I thought for the price that their customer service would at least stand behind their name!
