ok, i have a 8GB ipod touch 2nd gen, now i know the front screen is hard to scratch and is very strong.

BUT, my question more about the accelerometer on the ipod touch/i phone.

i mean, if you drop your phone or something will that accelerometer get damaged???

no, the accelerometer shouldn't take any damage. Chances are you'll crack your screen and case first
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

so if its dropped on a hard floor the accelerometer should be fine, the ipod will tilt fine as you tilt your device etc.???

Ive had my ipod for now a year, 16GB one, and its tough, only thing ive noticed is that the actual speed of everything slows down, especially opening settings, it takes me about 7-10 seconds to open fucking setings, i mean wts.... mech, i like it

My front screen however is VERY scratched, it scratches easy, i have many scratches that are deap, all over it, i bout myself a darth pod back for it, which looks sexy (Google it)

But the only thing that hasnt fucked so far is the accelerometer, i'd be more worried about the screen and/or the porn you hide on it being found.

EDIT: I've dropped it countless times, lol i just dropped it then loocking at the scratches, im so clumsy

have you updated your firmware??? 2.2 came out on sunday and has improved the stabilty and speed for me.

i've noticed that themes make it very slow.  i just re-jailbroke to 2.1, meaning i had to restore it, and installed everything again, and without themes its still very fast.  just don't use a theme.

it is so much more durable than you think.  i have a screen protector but i didn't have one for a couple months.  never got a scratch on the glass part.  the back, however, scratches easily.  i don't really care though.  dropping it isn't much of an issue.  i've done it several times and it ends up fine.  what IS an issue, though, is dents and scratches on the bezel along the outer edge.  that thing gets dented and scratched easily.  i recommend you buy a silicone case that covers the edge (i didn't want to buy one because i thought it'd detract from the "beauty", but i hate myself for it now.)

edit: i have the 1st gen, 16 GB.  the accelerometer should be fine.

Ive had mine for a year, I dropped it once, and since then it has slowed a tiny bit, apart from that it's pretty solid.
