Your spending over 200 bux on somethin gthat will only last 18 months, becsue the battery will go dead, and its unreplaceable. So walla, gotta spend another 200 plus on a new one.

I'm just blown away by the fact that such a large company would design something with a battery that will eventualy die and not offer some sort of replacement or rechargable battery for it. That's outrageous. :o

I didn't even know WTF an ipod was until I did a search for it. :-[

The tech was a dick but the guy in the video is a whiny little bitch.

The iPods battery is not "unreplaceable" - it is in fact very replaceable and pretty easy at that. Batteries and instructions can be found here for $49: http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-ap...d&ref=616-0159

Another way to look at it: People don't complain so much if their laptop battery dies which can easily happen after 18 months. Since most laptop warranties are 1 year it'll probably cost $150 or so for a replacement. Not much of a difference - and while still a pain in the ass many people would cosider that acceptable.

Just my thoughts.

Yeah but a lap top cant be had for 100 bucks.You missed the point that that battery will cost more than twice the price of that stuped I-pod.It would be the same if the lap top battery was $3500 bucks.

That's great. I wish everyone that ever got screwed by a big company could get exposure like that. It would make alot of products actually last instead of the company throwing some bullshit together and selling it. If you can't do it to the best of your ability, than don't sell it, you fucks. ;)

Hmmm... let me do the math. $49 for a replacement battery on a $400 iPod is the same ratio as $150 for a replacement battery on a $1300 laptop. Most laptops sold cost less than $1500 so it really is the same thing - my example stands.

Don't get me wrong - I think it sucks either way. But I'm an IT guy and I see stuff like this all the time. I just wanted to point out that Apple's not screwing anyone. (Well not anymore than all the High Tech companies screw everybody.) My experience has been that Apple will usually go out of their way to make the customer happy. And at least the tech was in the USA - try calling Dell when your DJ breaks. (Punjab anyone?)
