I think somebody's out looking for a job for this tidbit!

474922 2006-07-31 05:19:00 That's a pretty good design life for something like that. Many manufacturers of consumer goods would consider it gross overdesign (and not profitable enough). Graham L (2)

474924 2006-07-31 06:18:00 Curious. I have this vague memory from Fair Go, Consumer, or maybe this site of an iPod which failed at 14 months. Neither Apple nor the retailer were the slightest bit interested. Anyone recall that? Winston001 (3612)

Reading the article it says

9,000 iPods owned by more than 4,000 respondents
Does this mean that many of the respondents have more than one iPod ??

No it means they are on their 2nd one, some on their 3rd already.

.........is biting into an Apple and finding 1/2 a worm.
