Apple to Recycle your iPod for Free

rdarden writes "After you get your dough from the recent iPod settlement, why not recycle your old iPod at an Apple retail store (US only). Starting today, that worthless hunk of environmental unfriendliness can be turned into a 10% discount on a new iPod (purchased at the same time)."

    I used to never like apple, but my opinion of them is starting to change. I dont see their products as superior, but I do consider them acceptable nowdays.

    I bought an iPod Photo 60GB. Within a month the thing crashed. And I dont mean crashed, where you hit two buttons and it reboots. (that happened the day i got it.) I mean crashed as in it wont reboot, the battery didnt charge, and winblows didnt recognize it. For all intents and purposes it was an expensive brick.

    I sent it back and they fixed it for free, got it back to me in just a few days.

    The thing still crashes occasionaly but now the two button reset always does the job.

    Moral of the story: apples good, but not perfect.
