Personally though I'm never buying an ipod again. Much as I love my Ipod mini, I've had it replaced 3 times under warranty and every replacement had the same problem; battery keeps randomly cutting out (fully charged or not) then you can turn it back on, wait 30 seconds, and it's suddenly full again. It turns off if I run or even walk to hard with it, and now the volume has gone incredibly low for any music I take from a CD rather than a download, in which case I have to turn it all the way to the top just to get decent sound.

Honestly, what's the point of a warranty if you just replace one broken item with another? There should just be a guaranteed return option, full money back, if the replacement can't even hold up.
Ah yeah I had similar problems with my 4th gen.. touchweel fuck ups and volume problems.. its one of the most annoying things ive dealt with..

when ipods work they are the shit.. but no kudos for apple.. they let themselves down major on reliability
