yea, but that's not the point, the point is that companies make certain design/business choices to force obsolescence faster... Like for example lets look at a cd player that I bought 10 years ago, it still works fine, and will work fine for the next 10 years... on the other hand, lets look at the ipod, there is no way an ipod will last 20 years, the software will stop being supported or the battery will die out long before then...
