So the question is, are you going to stick with Apple?  Are their products superior enough to warrant the sky-high prices, fragile products and poor service?  I mean, if the product is going to break in a year anyway, maybe you should spring for a competitors product that is significantly cheaper.

One of these alternatives is the Taidian M66 HD MP5 Player.  This product plays MP3, WMA, APE, and FLAC audio files, and RM, RMVB, FLV, AVI(compatible with DIXV, XVID, and MPEG4) DAT, WMV, and MPG video formats.  It also comes with a USB port and cable that allows high speed data transfer from your computer to your new MP5 player.  This means, assuming you did backup your music and video library, it will be accessible on your Taidian MP5 player almost immediately.  This player features a 5.0″, high resolution, color screen, and 8GB memory capacity that is competitive with the iPod touch.  In addition, it comes with a TV-out cable that allows you to view stored videos on your TV screen.  Was your iPod able to do that?

This product comes with the same 1 year warranty that your iPod did.  However, it costs just over $100 brand new.  Rather than submitting to the strangle hold that Apple has on the portable player market, consider the benefits offered by competitors.  You might be surprised by what you find.

Pool Party Floating Bluetooth Speakers

I think you see my point.  This wireless, submersible speaker floats around your pool or hot tub, receiving a signal from the transmitter up to 150ft away. The transmitter is included, and can broadcast music from any audio source using Bluetooth technology.   The battery inside the floating speaker lasts for up to 4 hours.
