IIRC, the warranty on the 950 is five years, no? Check the perks on your credit card. Mine doubles the warranty period for purchases I made using that card. I often forget this.
I got my iPod Touch replaced after the Apple warranty ran out. I had to deal with the 3rd party warranty company and submit all kids of paperwork, but it saved me from buying a new Touch!
