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.

Since its market release, consumers are becoming quite interested in the new Teclast T50 player with Multi-point touch screen.  With the same elegant look and feel of the Apple iPod Touch, the Teclast offers full-screen touch control, and comparable audio and video capability.  The Teclast T50 also marks a historical landmark, being the the first portable audio-visual device to be developed by domestic manufacturers in China.   

The Teclast T50 supports MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC, and APE Audio formats, and AVI, RM, RMVB, FLV, MP4, VOB, and DAT Video Playback Formats.  These files are stored on a internal memory ranging from 2-8 GB depending on specifications.  This MP5 player also offers Scroll Flo Technology and an FM Radio.

You may think that an MP5 player with iPod Touch software and hardware configuration would cost almost as much as the original.  However, the wholesale price on Bigboxstore.com, whose merchandise is all factory direct,  is just $87.50.  If you are planning to buy an iPod Touch, but are hesitant about spending $200-300, consider the Teclast T50 as an affordable alternative.

Dont delay and get one today!
