Just pay for the iPod using a credit card that offers some kind of damage and theft protection instead of paying Apple for useless tech support and the privilege of receiving another defective iPod to replace the one they just sold you and the precious Apple Care warranty.
Apple tech support is worthless since their most common solution is just reset the iPod and if that doesn’t fix it, then just format it and restore it back to factory defaults.
That is the advice you get for a pay per incident call or for this useless protection plan.
Their tech support is only good for those of us who won’t RTFM and would rather spend 10 minutes on hold so we can yell at a support rep who can’t figure out we’re asking them a trick question with no possible answer or solution while we revel in their ineptitude masquerading as sincerity while trying to research our impossible dilemna.
The batteries on these things go bad in 3 yrs which is a common life expectancy for most portable batteries including laptop computers.
But, you can’t get a battery warranty for an iPod in 3 yrs.
I DON’T suggest you buy a Microsoft Zune as an alternative nor am I going to engage in the dogmatic equations of since one is bad the other must be good.
Microsoft has their own host of problems too.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who are stupid enough to think there only two kinds of people and the rest of us who understand things are too complex to be defined in only two ways.

I ordered an Apple Care protection plan. It arrived shortly after it was due. However, I was unable to track where the shipment was while I was waiting using the USPS tracking system.

Great inclusive warranty. Must have for anyone that uses iPod for working out or during any activity where it might easily be broken.

At first I was reluctant to purchase an extended warranty/product support product. I took a chance and will never regret it. APPLE’s customer support is First Class. It’s better than the “Gold Standard”. It’s The Platinum Standard for customer support. Every Company should be as good…..their customer support people are knowledgeable and friendly. No long waits on hold; no trying to navigate a phone cue to get to the correct department/person.
I was so impressed with APPLE that I bought two 16gb Nano’s and upgraded my phone to an iPhone.

I purchased the one year warranty for my iPod touch 1st generation, and after about 6 months it would no longer connect or charge unless held to the cable with rubber bands. So I send off my ipod to apple and they tell me that they won’t repair it under warranty because of water damage, and they had the guts to tell me that they could repair it for $229! Now I travel around the Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and Texas coast areas for work and I reach some humid areas but I’ve never had another electronic device utterly fail just from humidity. The ipod never touched water except what was in the air. DO NOT BUY!
