I wonder if that's true.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I'm not too supprized. And odds are, he could crack the damn thing open, take the battery out, do a little hunting and replace it.

Strange. I just called and they quoted me 99 Dollars for a new batt and instalation on a 3rd Gen iPod.

Older ones are out of Warrenty and the cost is 120 but you have to do it yourself.

Were you writing a paper?

On the PC?

Yes, I am a lawyer. No you can't sue them for that. Shut up, or I'll have your legs broken.

unfortunately, no.

It's a proprietary lithium polymer battery, and it can only be replaced by an exact match, and only by an experienced tech (bend the battery or deform it and the ipod won't close)

It's a good design in a way, because it makes for a smaller, lighter product, but having the battery only replacable by a tech is a BAD THING.

Bite me.

No, Really. Bite me.

It turns the product into a service.

Products you pay for once, services you pay for for as long as you use them.

hay guys whats going on in this title?

You can get a replacement for around $30 in some places. A good one too.

My sister has had her Ipod for over a year now and no battery needed replacement.

It's just sensationalism. They posted this on SA already and it got disproved numerous times

You can't disprove that a battery will wear out, and you can't disprove that it's a proprietary battery that you need apple to replace for you.

When it comes to replacing that battery, apple has your nuts in a vice. If they sell enough Ipods they can charge whatever they damn well please, and there'll be nothing you can do about it except buy a new Ipod, which is precisely what they want you to do.

Brilliant marketing strategy - the company I work for now uses it - but it's something to stay the hell away from as a consumer.
