When I fall off my bike, I make sure my head hits the ground first, I wouldnt want to scratch the ipod.

Yes, everyone, please beware that an electronic device breaks when landed upon.
You can try and see what AppleCare does for you. My friend accidentally broke his screen by accidentally sitting on the Nano, called Applecare and they got it fixed. Few weeks later he got caught in the rain without a rain coat or umbrella, he called applecare, sent it in and got it fixed.
Perhaps apple should include a warning sticker on all iPods:
"Warning, do not fall off your bike onto this iPod, it will NOT survive the crash, and you will then be arrested & charged with iPodal Homicide" The penalty for this crime is having to buy & use only a M$ Zune for the rest of your natural life, or death, whichever you prefer

If you bought it with your American Express, it is cover for 90 days accidental damage.
Also, you should have named this thread "Beware of ground: it is hard."

Jeez, you don't need to be so harsh about it.
But I would choose death.

Well, as the saying goes: dont do the crime if you cant do the time
or from another angle: you've made your bed, now you must lie in it
Personally, I feel that the severity of the punishment should match the severity of the crime!
What we have here is motive, opportunity, cause & effect, and a free admission of guilt, so just deal with it!

This is terrible. I can't believe Apple can sell something that breaks so easily. I've heard they break if you drive a car over them too.
You should start a website and a petition to bring it to people's attention!
Seriously though... sorry about the nano.
