Re: iPod Photo problems
Hi all, For what it is worth, I have been using a 2nd generation iPod for just on 18 months now. It was originally purchased to take the place of a cd player we were using to play background music in our bed and breakfast property. We were finding that a standard cd player was not up to running for 15 hours per day. Repair costs were getting out of hand. We had already worn out a Bose cd unit and a Sony was also starting to give repeated problems. Enter the iPod. My estimate is that it has clocked up just over 8000 hours of use so far. The battery charger is attached to a timer to give 8 hours of charge every 24. What can I say - it just works and hasn't missed a beat in that time. Another Apple success story.

Matt; You'll probably need to take it in to have it serviced. You could get by using it with the functionality that it does have but it's probably not such a good idea to let issues like that lay around until your warranty passes. Actually this is an interesting point. Do many iPods need to go back for 'fixing'? I've always thought of them as a consumer item like a walkman or DVD player and not something that 'usually works'. Anybody have any experiences to share? I think I remember someone on the list (Skippy) who went through a few iPods before he got a stable one. Yes, I'm thinking of getting one, now that they store 60Gb which is close to my library size.

Ruben Matt Morgan, I'm considering the purchase of the iPod Photo. Could you elaborate on the clunky aspects of your unit? Compared to what, the regular iPod? The possibility that your unit is struggling with the amount of information seems unlikely. Difficulty with minor format differences in the content seems more likely. Anyhow, that's a worry as well.
