More to come on that. I've always got the impression from the iPod that it's like a 2 year gadget, designed to last short enough so as not to affect the sales of the newer designs. I can't say anything else about their production process though. My iPod is an older 4th Gen pod. The first one with the click wheel, and one of the last ones without a colour screen. It was my first iPod, and thus far I've seen no reason to change it. I am seriously intrigued by Microsoft's Zune though. Actually, that'd be an interesting company to check up on. Microsoft's making Xboxes and media players and webcams, I wonder how green their production process is. A gig, yes. More to come on that.

I'm not exactly sure which to believe, as the debunker (I wish I had the link handy; I might have sent it to you?) sounds more shrill than credible in his post, and I always thought Apple had a better enviro track record than most. But then again, this is the company that told it's users to buy new iPods when their first gen batteries eventually died. :/ I actually read about this last night, forwarded around the “I wish my Mac came in green” spoof page, and then got a response back from a friend, linking to a post debunking Greenpeace’s claims about Apple products.
