I have a 256MB MP3 player that I got from Walmart about 4 years ago, for $96 (RCA Lyra) - still works perfectly, never had an issue.

I cant see any way to put a HD in a device that is portable, with no shock or cushioning designed in, and expect it to survive in normal use.
Very low. iPod failure rate compared to other electronics is very good. I have only had one major glitch with the iPod i've had for 3 years. I only need a new battery now (thanks brandon!) and it'll last me another 3.

The shuffle and nano are solid state, so none of these problems happen with them.
