"Reliability and durability

iPods have been criticized for their short life-span and fragile hard drives. A 2005 survey conducted on the MacInTouch website found that the iPod line had an average failure rate of 13.7% (although they note that comments from respondants indicate that "the true iPod failure rate may be lower than it appears"). It concluded that some models were more durable than others.[86] In particular, failure rates for iPods employing hard drives was usually above 20% while those with flash memory had a failure rate below 10%, indicating poor hard drive durability. In late 2005, many users complained that the surface of the first generation iPod Nano can become scratched easily, rendering the screen unusable.[87][88] A class action lawsuit was also filed.[89] Apple initially considered the issue a minor defect, but later began shipping these iPods with protective sleeves."

I work in HW/SW ... and I deal with this sorta **** all the time... they do whats called planned obsolescence - we do it too lol. The idea is... you make something soo good that once it breaks - you the consumer will want to get a newer better one... and it just so happens that their **** breaks just after the warranty period
