For Those With Ipods...

What are you going to do after the battery depletes? Are you going to send it back to Apple for a battery replacement for $60 + $6.95 shipping? I heard iPod batteries lasts around 2 years...and this is a procedure I'm sure many wouldnt like to go through as you also lose all your music/files after the replacement.

I had my mind set on getting an iPod Video but then I thought of this and the whole plan halted, I wish Apple would quickly announce a newer iPod with Video features as well PLUS removable/easily replacable battery pack.

What do you think?

 

lol, mine i charges through USP plugs, it doesnt have them AA or AD what ever you call them, yeah mine doesnt have that...

 

THis is Apples long-term plan. TO keep gaining income on a product, no matter what the owner does. THey know that iPods are just fads.. but they'll still be making a ton of money down the road.. they won't change it.

 

It still uses a battery, a rechargable battery that after a while wastes, and since its not removable they charge you 60 dollars to repair

 

Well, of course I'd replace it... well, until Creative releases an MP3 player that can play ACC files as well

 

itunes (just the program) is free, and will convert AAC (MP4) to mp3

 

yo can replace the battery, al lyou have to do is buy one, pry off the back, and put the new one in. the back of the ipod isnt held in with screws, all ya have to do is pry it off.

 

im guessing the battery is connected to cables and probably not in the back, it could be anywhere. Its not just open from the back, pull it out, you have to cut the cables then go get a battery which they dont sell in stores

 

i saw a tutorial on how to do it on this site damn me for not saving it... but they sold batteries for ipods and all the tools you needed to pry it apart...

 

For... $60?

Well anyways, when my battery dies I think I'd probably just buy a new whatever's good/hot at that time. =P

Honestly I don't see the need for a $400 portable music player so I just bought a $50 shuffle off ebay.

 

Hmm, I'm using an IPod shuffle and it lasts 5 hours before it runs out and I need to recharge it. Didn't know it would eventually die

 

after a while, like a year or so, but dont worry. By the time its dead there will be something better and cooler

 

ipods are quite sweet
but prices are getting quite ridickulous
bahaha dick

 

Wow are you serious... hmm, just find some hacker with some hacked programming ^_^

 

i paid 125 for my ipod mini and its awesome!!!!!!! it has about an 8 hour charge or so
