Corrected entry: EVE's design was always said to be based on iPods. Along with Wall-E using Mac boot sounds, WALL-E also uses an iPod to watch videos on his tapes using some sort of A/V input. The iPod he uses most resembles a second generation iPod which was made all the way back in mid-2002. It is not possible for a 798 year old iPod to have survived that long. Also, the iPod 2nd generation never had a color screen, but it's probable that WALL-E replaced it with a color one.

Correction: An assumption at best; there is no way to know how long an iPod will last or what condition this iPod was in when Wall-E located it. For all we know he may have found it in an airtight container or time capsule, perfectly preserved.

Not to mention all the other electronic devices Wall-E was using that existed before the iPod are still operating.
Also where are you getting 798 years from, if the second generation ipod was made in 2002. In the short BURN-E (which takes place at the same time as the events of the movie) shows that the current year is 2805, so the axiom set off in 2105. You may have confused this with the message from the president of BnL in 2110, which was supposed to be the end of the 5 year mission. I understand this is barely relevant but I am just very nit-picky.
