I have 2 iPods (3g Nano, and 4g iPod), both still work fine. My G4 Mini still works, just without RAM at the moment (had to borrow the RAM for something else, but will be returned shortly). My bluetooth keyboard still works like new. I've never had a problem with apple hardware quality.
And as far as getting locked in, I've really not had a problem with that. All my stuff on my mac and ipods, I use without a problem on my linux boxes, where you would think it wouldn't due to no official support.
