him. this just made my day :(

damn, how come i missed this thread last week.

funny vid. is it really true that it only lasts for 18 months? cause that fucking sucks

Do a search for ipod battery on google, you can buy a third party replacement battery with install instructions for like $50.

evry 18 months gotta buy a new ipod thats expensive music.

Isn't technology fucking great?

I must say, I've got a new Ipod, have had it for about 6 months, and the battery probably holds a charge for 1 hour less :-/

Dell just came out with a competitor for it..

Yeah the battery thing really sucks but look at it this way.

I listen to my ipod 8 hours a day (1 battery charge). In a year that's 2920 hours of use.

Compare buying AA batteries. You'll get 10 hours of play out of one pack.
That's 292 packs of batteries you'll need to buy to get the same play time out of an alternative player.

292 x $7 = $2044.00 for batteries alone!

:thumbsup

You can get replacement batteries here and from many other places including Apple:

The guys who did the video are completely misinformed.

very cool. lot's of b/w on that site i bet.

haha that's funny!

bought mine a month ago, hope it lasts more then 18 months though :)

fantastic...good song too

How many macs do you have?


And how much would it be if I would have bought rechargeable batteries (like the one in the ipod).

Ipod rulez anyway, it's the best! :thumbsup
