What iPod has a lifespan of 4 years? The battery's worn out, the casing is scratched to hell, or it has inexplicably died by now.

My iPod Video from late 2005 still works well in it's dock, but the battery life is down to about 30 minutes. Not a scratch on it. It's been in a silicone case and screen protector since day one. It's had to be reset about seven times since I've had it.

Here's another funny bit:

«At a glance, it seems like Obama has a thing for gadgets (and related media); he recently handed off a set of DVDs featuring classic American films to Prime Minister Gordon Brown... who was unable to play them due to incorrect region encoding.»
