I interested in how many people out there (on this site) have had to use the warranty due to malfunction or product breakage. I realize that by spending 299$/399$/499$ you are ensuring your self with a sturdy and dependable product, yet Im sure that there have been timese where someone dropped their ipod and had it shatter and had to take the bits and pieces back to an apple store to get it replaced. Or someone had some type of reoccouring program error. Another thing to mention would be the lithium battery. There are like four forums that all have different stratigies for not "burning it out"

Anyway,I don't wanna jinx my ipod (which happens to be in the mail right now) but I'm just hoping that there aren't alot of people with broken products.

peace
