iPod's Unreplaceable Battery Lasts Only 18 Months Just bumped into this via v-2. Here's a direct link to iPod's Dirty Secret by the Neistat Brothers. It's a taped converstation w/ Apple's tech support regarding the iPod's battery life. Pretty funny stuff. The cost to replace the battery is almost the same as buying a new one. The iPod I have is the first gen 5GB model. I haven't noticed the short battery life as the only time I listen to anything is during my daily work commute, which is around 40 minutes one way. So my battery lasts at least over an hour. NWA ... ah, that's what I grew up on. ** UPDATE ** After a quick search using the Google It! link I bumped into Klint's Journal w/ an update on the iPod battery issue and some info on the video. More info on CNet. 12:27:56 PM    comment []
