I've had my 1st Gen Ipod since August of 2006, so it's coming up on three years now. Last year before them warranty was about to run out I figured why not
send it to Apple and see if the battery length qualified for a replacement. Why not I sent it the week I was away at camp anyway. So it got returned and Apple
said it's battery was just fine. I was dissapointed, but hey it lasts. To date the battery is still great and it has a 1mm crack in the screen, alot of scratches, and
dents and dings, but it still works. But the reason I made this post was because of what happened to it last night. I got home and threw my shorts in the wash.
I found my Ipod in the pocket this morning (went through the washer and the dryer aswell.) It wouldn't turn on, but as soon as I synced it with my computer it
worked. They are completely impossible to damage with common use, I just don't see a way it will fail for a while. Gotta love good old quality.
