Hospital for iPods: Milliamp review

I can’t be the only one to find themselves in this situation. My iPod, a 30GB 5th generation black iPod Video, bought in May of 2006, had developed a problem – the headphone socket only producing sound via the left channel – due to nothing more than normal wear and tear, and it was naturally [...]
