iPod Applecare for 5G ipod a good investment?

I don't know of any specific problems with the iPod 5G, but I'd get it. From my personal experience, I'll always get Applecare. I'd be iPod-less if it wasn't for it. My 4G's hard drive just died for no apparent reason and I got a new one in about 15 of being at the apple store. Also, I think you can send in your 5G right before the warranty expires and tell them the battery doesn't fully charge. They'll give you a new one, or at least change the battery.

you could always just ebay it and buy a brand new one. you'll take a small loss that's somewhat mitigated by you not having to buy applecare anymore. that's what i did w/ my 5g which was about to be out of warrantee. it was almost the same price for me to ebay and buy a new one as it was to just buy applecare.
