Just dropped my Nano...

[RacersEdge]

These flash memory devices are hard to break. My nano seems pretty durable. I assumed you tried to reset it?

Haha, you went to an ipod forum?... sorry...

I don't think it's unethical at all. Those things break way too easily and there's no reason why you should have to pay for their dodgy design. Unethical would be you taking a hammer to it and then doing the same.

It's worth trying to get it replaced.

Yes. Dude, the screen is totally f'ed. There's a diagonal black line running from top right to bottom left. To the left of that is a black bar, above it, just white. When I scroll through the menus nothing on the screen changes at all. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Anyway, the Nano itself (when turned off) looks exactly the same as it did before, perhaps one or two more tiny scuff marks. If it wasn't for the clickwheel feeling a bit weird I'd be pretty confident they couldn't tell I'd dropped it.

PS. It is getting funnier.

Thanks for some of the arguments which I adopted as my own :P

I've already taking a bashing on an ipod forum so I thought I'd discuss it with some people who actually have a brain.

I dont agree w/ the guy sin the ipod forum, i think if you are strraightforward with Apple, i think you could get them to replacee it.

If you "pull the wool over their eyes" i think it's a bit immoral, but i think you could persuade them to replace it. Like you said, a 3 foot fall should not render a device thats intended to be carried around all day, dead.
