here's the tally:
iPod touch 8gb = returned once (faulty screen)
iPod touch 16gb = returned 5 times ( 2x faulty screens, 1 battery failure, 2 case breaks)
ipod nano 1st generation = Replaced twice ( LCD problem)
iPod U2 = Repaired under warranty twice, then replaced on the 3rd time (battery failure both times, still haev the replacement)
iPod classic 160gb = Repaired under warranty four times (Hard drive failure once, screen twice and casing issues)
I've bought one zune. One. I've had it a couple of months now, and aside from the little bit of dust under the screen it works fine. In fact It's already broken the record for any return faults I've made where I've had to hand my iPod back into the apple store.
The simple fact is, as long as Microsoft continue with the build quality, they have a regular customer in me. In fact, I think the only thing that beats it for quality and stability, is my PSP.
