| Have a look around what will happen when you need a new battery, it's a rip off, roundabout 200 $. Sorry, give me the option to change the battery like on my Canon 10D.... | ||

Apple does provide a service so you can change your battery. You can read the details here. The service costs $99.00 USD: including labor, parts, and a 90-day guarantee on materials and workmanship, plus $6.95 shipping.



I own a 30GB iPod and an original 5GB iPod which I have given to my wife. I have yet to experience any battery problems, despite the original 5GB iPod being close to two years old. No problems with either iPod. Besides, if I ever did have any problems, you can buy a replacement battery for $30-50 and replace it yourself, have Apple replace it for ~$100, or invest in an extended warranty plan from CompUSA or Best Buy for $30-70.
