Two of my friends have ipods and the screens get easily scatched, they are fragile dont have very good antiskip technology, based on these two cases. Apart from their stylish look and easy navigational system I don't like ipods that much.
EDIT: My bad, Sony don't make Nomads...

By "explode" I think that they just ment fail.
I've never even heard a rumor of the battery actualy exploding.
And honestly even the battery failure statement is false.
I have many friends with first and second generation ipod's who have never had any battery problems.
The batterly problems are hardly widespread but the difficulty of replacing the battery if it fails has helped spawn this type of rumor.
As for the skipping
mp3 is only a format -- it dosen't skip or not skip.
mp3 players in general don't skip unless they're reading directly off of disk
I've never had my ipod skip because it loads it's information into a solid state memmory (several songs at a time) and plays it from there. But I haven't done anything rougher with it than jogging. Most mp3 players that read from soild state memmory don't have any skipping problems. That's one of their advantages over cd players.
As for the screen scratching that can be a problem if you're like me and abuse your stuff. I got a case for mine so i've never had a problem with it.
