When you iPod touch finally dies, how will you dispose of it?

[NineSwords]

Nine - you deserve a swat across the face!

Yes I do. But not for that... I never supported them in any way. I actually were pretty jealous at that time since I had to wait a few month until I could get mine.

But looking back I find it quite funny. Maybe I deserve a slap for that anyway....

I never knew there was a recycling program. I can't even imagine what to do if mine stopped working all of a sudden.
I suspect by then I'll buy a new one since I can't imagine life without one. It'd be pretty dull.

But the idea of trading it in to get $$ towards another one sounds tempting....

[RustySabre]

I'm not going to get rid of mine. I'm going to hang it on the wall with a sign underneath it that says "here rests my former best friend".

[loneapple24]

That's ridiculous! The iPod Touch can't die. It has built-in immortality features!

[Motorhead36]

Same way I got rid of my Old nano.

Bandsaw.

Make a video!

We should have a special section here: Featured IDevice disposals.

For me, I hope that day never comes. I'd probably recycle it though.

In Korea, I know of no recycle shops, but there are no dumps either. I cannot imagine sending my iPod touch skipping across a pond - that would be destructive and a waste. It isn't a good coaster nor would it be safe to prop my bed up on.

It works fine, but when it does die (years later?), I'll be very happy to be creative in my personal recycling of it. Perhaps I could do an artwork mural, the touch as the centre, holding up the hard artline.

I will dispose of my dead ipod in the same way I dispose of all dead things. I will chop it into quarters in my bathtub, wrap the peices carefully and weigh them down, throwing them in the Han river.

The relatives never find out.

Hmmm... sounds like you've done this (chopping up stuff) more times than you can count. Forum members, if you're reading this, do not disagree/piss off Nullroar. Unless you want to pay a visit to the Han river, make nice and play nice with him.

Back to topic on hand. I can't actually remember ever disposing of ANY of my electronics. My 300lb all-in-compaq presario (pentium I) is just resting (in peace) in the corner of my home office. A few other forsaken gadgets that have simply been boxed away:

- Sony Ericsson p910 cellphone
- Sony D88- CD Compact player
- Compaq iPaq 3800 pocket PC
- Yamaha DD-10 Drum machine
- iPod 30 GB

Perhaps in a 100 years, I'll be able to sell 'em all for a nice profit.
