Ok..let's say I buy a brand new ipod from the store.
With average to slightly less than average use (figure 5-7 hrs a week,mostly on the bus,etc) and with the idea that I take extremely good care of my stuff...I learn how to use it...I don't drop it,I don't let it bang around in a backpack...I treat it like it were alive.
How long (in yrs) can I expect the hard-drive to last?
How long (yrs) for the battery?
And I mean to the point were it will not work AT ALL!
I've read horror stories of the battery dying 10,12,14 months from purchase and for a $300 item that is not good at all.
And last..on my Sony Vaio, I have a IEEE 1394/iLINK port....is this the same as firewire?
Thanks to whoever can answer these.
