How long is a ipod mini 4g second generation supposed to last?

I am planning to get the ipod nano 8g and i had the ipod mini 4g before. I had the mini for 2yrs and someone i know thinks that that is a very short time for someone to have an ipod or mp3 player. I think that 2 yrs is pretty long for an ipod. How long is an ipod mini supposed to last when used daily and frequently?|||It depends on the usage habits. I have a first gen mini that still works perfect and the battery lasts as long as I need. The most common problem with these is that the battery fails. You can get replacements online for $12. My wife's 3rd generation iPod 40GB battery failed last year and she wanted a nano for size and battery performance reasons. I just bought her one for our anniversary. The color screen is well worth it and the battery does last longer.





It will last a long time, but if you want the color display or album art it might be worth the upgrade. You can sell your old one on ebay or something.|||I would say way more, It's ridiculous, I had an ipod nano 4th gen for nearly 2 years, looked spanking new and it just died, a mini has more restraint cause it less gadgets, it should last 4 years or more, no matter how much you use it, it's supposed to last a good long life. Apple are con artists.
