wow ipods are pathetic
 

i recently cashed in all of my empire VIP points for an ipod mini. i already have a a 40GB mp3 player but its a little big so i figured it could be for mass storage and for long trips and the mini could be for walking around music.

i take it on my walk to class this morning and am enjoying some audioslave when i take it out of my pocket to adjust the volume....and then i drop the [censored] thing. its got a little battle damage but i figure it will be no big deal, hell i drop my cellphone all the time. i was wrong. now there is fuzzy static at all times. its increibly gay. basically the thing is now useless. it arrived on monday and by wednesday its [censored] useless. what a joke. do they expect you to never ever drop these things?

ok rant over.

ive beaten the [censored] out of my ipod, so have my friends, they wtill work great. because you got it from a promo can you not get it replaced? apple are good about that.

Is it really that easy? My girlfriend won a 40 GB ipod in a raffel contest and it broke. It's been less than a year, but she doesn't have a receipt, and the people who held the raffel won't get back to her about it. Will an apple store still replace it, or is she just SOL?

Why don't you take it to the store and see? I bet you will be surprised that a company might actually stand behind one of its products.

Yeah, this most likely won't work. I don't think the warantee covers dropping it, which apple will assume happened.

As soon as I bought my Mini I got one of those silicon jackets for it. I've dropped it a few times in the jacket but it's still working fine from what I can tell. If you end up getting it replaced, I'd highly recommend one of those jackets.
