Up until then the iPod seemed a beautiful bit of technology. Not sure
now.

The iPod thread is a bit off-topic, but I understand some people use iPods
to dump images from their digital cameras. However the point still is this
is a $299 device, that has an 18 month battery that has to be factory
replaced for $250. I guess one is renting, not owning an iPod.

I had my first one for about a year and traded up to a 3rd generation
model. Hasn't been quite a year yet for that one. I'd buy another in
a heartbeat.

In a few months you may indeed end up having to, from
what I'm hearing... :-)

except that its $99 for battery replacement from apple, $50-60ish for a
do it yourself kit (third party), and $59 for an applecare extended
warranty which covers the battery. the $250 is for fixing *any*
problem, not just for battery replacement. nevertheless, it would be
nice if it had a snap on battery like a cellphone.

What? Please don't say that. Apple needs more ways to make money from ipod
owners.

It _is_ off-topic, and I wouldn't use an iPod for image storage -- the last
I saw, Belkin made the hardware for the transfers, and that gear was
getting bad reviews.
My wife's iPod is an original one that I bought her the year they came out,
and she has had no problems with the battery. Those guys obviously had a
failure after 18 months, but one failure does not a trend make. Other
failures may, however. :-> Apple has a $99 battery replacement program now.
So the thread is off-topic and seriously in error on the facts. But that
won't stop the bashing, of course.

AFAIK the *current* Apple policy is a $100 battery swap, or you can buy and
swap the battery yourself for about $50 from online sources.
It's annoying, but LiIon batteries do degrade over time, no matter what the
device.

The apple official replacement is $99.

$50 for a Li-ion battery is "little"?

Have you ever taken an iPod apart?
It's full of sticky gunge and the wires connecting the battery with the
works is so fragile you need watchmakers tools to handle them.
Apple does not really want you messing with their little secret. Before the
web campaign started the replacement was $250, now it's $99.
Apple seems to have taken the worst excesses of Microsoft and made them
their own - just look at that clunky piece of sh** Apple has the gall to
call Panther...

And if it wasnt for consumers kicking up a stink then it would still be
$250.

Gotta agree with you on Panther. Much prefer Jaguar.
