My iPOD 2nd Gen has hit menopause and now doesn't have the juice she used to
Anyway I was thinking about forking over for the top-o-da-line video iPOD but should one get the warranty from Apple or get an external warranty (aka BestBuy etc.). My sis has a 3rd gen that bit the dust conveniently 2 months past the warranty deadline...and the new ones do seem like a LOT could go wrong with them.

Get AppleCare. Not only is it often cheaper than a 3rd-party warranty, but service is much faster.

i got a 5G and opted for the two year apple care. i used my old mini for a year with no apple care and sure enough, like the month after my limited warranty expired, my battery started flaking out. if you're gonna use your iPod on a regular basis (i.e. everyday ) then get Apple Care. i wouldn't really recommend BB warranties, but eh, thats my personal opinion.
