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....

    Sorry, but you need to stop believing everything you read and try doing some of your own research from MULTIPLE sources, not just some punk kids trying to get attention.

    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.

    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.
