I've witnessed 1 not working anymore. It didn't want to turn off, restart or reset, not even connect to a PC. 2 Nanos were broken/snapped, one was the first nano and the other was the latest and I've witnessed a load getting scratched, but loads of MP3 players seem to anyway.

Nano 2GB 1st Gen: I had it for 3 days and went on camp. I went though the caves and left it in my bag, 2 hours later we got back on the bus and my whole bottom of the screen had cracked and you couldn't see it. 9 months later with still the cracked screen I got a virus on it from putting a song on it then I took it back to the Apple shop and they gave me a new one under warrantly for the cracked screen. I went 9 months with half of a screen!

My iPod I have had for 3 years, not one issue,

My sisters iPod 2 years, not one issue

My cousins iPod coming up to its 5th year, battery life lasts 2 days instead of its previous 5 (&#163;10 to fix)

What do you people do with iPods?

The worst thing with my iPod is years of being in a pocket with my many keys which has done a number on the front plate screen but it still functions perfectly.

Actually if you looked it says the iPod will not operate, and it will break if you turn it on over 10,000 feet (unpressurized). This is because of the thin layer of air between the hard drive's heads and disk. At a higher altitude that thin layer of air does not exist and the heads make contact with the disk and this basically messes up the disk.

Anyway, my 30GB video wouldn't turn off and we sent it back and another didn't come so instead I bought one off Amazon but it got mixed up with another delivery from a woman from Southampton and I somehow got an 80GB video instead...

The HDD iPods are easily damage, but the flash based ones are pretty robust. My nano is great and hasn't let me down once. I'm impressed with this one.

iPod Nano Black 2GB G1 - Randomly died, but it had a scratched screen anyway. Went to Apple Store and they replaced it.

iPod Nano Black 2GB G1 Number 2 - Survived, a bit scratched though.

iPod Video Black 30GB 5.5G - It's doing well so far, if I break it I will literally die.

White iPod nano 4GB 1G - Had it for 1 & a half years, dropped it about 3 times and the only problems I have had with it are fingerprints on the metal and scratches on the metal, which are only visible if you tilt it into a certain position in the light.
