Query: Short life span

I do not recommend Apple's Ipod and IF you are going to buy one, get the extended warranty. Over the past 3.5 years, I have owned three Ipods and all three died with the same problem after about a year....the well known folder with the exclamation mark. At first it is fixable by restoring or resetting the device, but then the hard dive siezes up and you have a paper weight. I have done this three times because I own all the accessories including by beloved Bose docking station.If you doubt my warning here, just check out Apple's Ipod support page on their web site. Right on the first page are the infamous icons that you will dread to see on Ipod (if you buy one). Also check out the support discussion board.You've been warned.
