Wow. I hope your account name isn't David Osborne and that Amazon doesn't read these threads. Wolf in sheeps clothing? Sounds like you're the wolf here. Not that I really think that was an appropriate metaphor either applied to Amazon or to you.. but you get what I'm saying.
I generally don't go for the extended warranty - from what I've read, most device failures happen within the first three months, and that failures within the second year are unlikely with solid state devices. But considering the price and the potential for this device to break because I use it in situations that are risky (i.e. on the beach, on the subway, etc) $32 a year for accidental damage insurance doesn't really seem that unreasonable. I might actually go for it.
