I think I've owned more iPods than anyone else in here (26 so far and going strong)
I don't currently own all of these, however I have at least purchased and used them for at least 4 months
6 5GB First Gens (One died because I dropped it, and I bought some for cheap and sold them later when I upgraded to the newer iPods)
4 iPod Videos (use them as neat external HDs for my business)
5 Click Wheel monochromes (three 20s and two 40s)
5 iPod Minis (Two Silvers and Three Greens, One replaced, one Stolen)
3 Third Gens (gf currently has one, and AppleCare just replaced it too
)
2 iPod Nanos (great for the gym and incredible battery life)
1 1GB Shuffle (Gave it to my mom)
Yeah, I have 8 still (4 Video, 1 mini, 1 20GB, 1 Shuffle, and 1 15GB). Some are just lying around, some are just for shoots and giggles.
Now the question is...why do I have so many iPods? Why not?
Of all of these, how many have had Battery Failures? 2
How many have I messed up myself? 1
How many have I treated like crap? 20 at least!
I take both my video and nano into the sauna for usually 30 mins daily and guess what? They work great.
I must admit that Apple must implement some sort of sensitivity setting, but other than that, I have no complaints.
For me 2 hours of video time is plenty, as I watch a whole movie while jogging on the treadmill. And I like how I can change the volume even if the iPod is in my pocket.
So hate on me or learn lol
