I bought an ipod mini a couple years ago, and after a month the battery crapped out completely. So I sent it in, got it replaced. After a few months of gradually decreasing battery life, it completely died again, and I sent it in and had it replaced. After my warranty ran out, guess what.... can you guess? Bet you can't! My battery is dying out. It gives me about 3-5 hours bettery life and randomy cuts out with a "Low Battery" message all the time. Then I restart it and the battery is "full" again.

Warranty's aren't worth much when you just get another broken product to replace it with.
