After 14 months of constant use and abuse my iPod (PondaPop) passed away this morning. He was a great buddy and friend and was always there when I needed to watch the OC, Scrubs, Monsters Inc, Shrek 2. It was sad to see him go, and sit there as he was dormant creature. All this poses a question. How well are iPods made? Now this isn’t a attack against apple, yesh I do love them, but it lasted 14 months, and because it went out of warranty, I can’t get another one. 
. My Shuffle aka Maza, was bought in 2003, runs like a dream and still has a fantastic battery life. But apple should think about maybe changing manufacturer of the hard drive to something else. But then, I don’t know that it was my hard drive, and that it could be my battery.
Good bye Panda Pop, you will be missed.
