 | "Yet another 40g with recurring hard drive problems" | 2007-01-29 |
I was lucky enough to have an HP service contract that extends the warranty for 90 days after repair. My iPod 40g has failed for the 8th time in less than 2 years or like clock-work about every 90 days. Always the same "Sad Face" icon that will not respond to any of the simple procedures that Apple or HP propose to remedy the problem.
I cannot understand why Apple has not instituted at least a trade-in program for this ultimate lemon. A recent survey showed that it failed at 10x the rate of the newer models. For me, I am not sure that I will ever buy an Apple product again regardless of a trade-in.
I really have never understood the cult of Apple. It is no more reliable a product or more intuitive a product than anyone else. It is all Steve's PR.
