So, since I'm also a mac user, I can stick with iPods without detriment. ;)<BR/><BR/>I can't remember how old my iPod is... it's the same age as my laptop, at any rate. I imagine the occasional accidental tumble didn't help my iPod's lifespan any. (Even with the rubber coat it had to reduce the shock a bit.)<BR/><BR/>Looking back in my photos (because that was more interesting than looking in my receipts), my laptop (and thus, my iPod) will be four years old this August. Thankfully my laptop is still going strong.noricumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904523391639958451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226023.post-71478667444771181872008-04-29T04:37:00.000-05:002008-04-29T04:37:00.000-05:00I read somewhere that iPods have a lifespan of aro...I read somewhere that iPods have a lifespan of around two years, if that. I got mine as a refurb on eBay and other than needing an occasional restore, it's running fine. <BR/><BR/>Our library just started offering free eBooks for mp3 players, but not iPods. So I stick with Audiobooks.com, which can get expensive. If your library has a service like that you might consider switching from an iPod to...anything else. Good luck!jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948708228576485703noreply@blogger.com
