A few days ago we reported about Apple saying that iPods are built to last at least four years. Well, it looks like you'd have to stop the countdown as Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said that she was misquoted in a Chicago Tribune article on failing iPods.

She was quoted as saying iPods have a relatively low failure rates and that they are designed to last "four years." Cross out the "four" and change it to "for," then you get your iPod's life span - which could be between two and an infinite number of years.

Chicago Tribune has yet to correct its original report. On our part, please consider this a correction of our previous article.
