Anyone know the website for this battery replacement,i have an original version and the battery just died. thanks to all

I replaced my 2nd gen battery with one of their products a while ago and the difference has been amazing. I'd recommend looking at the instructions on their website rather than trying to read the incredibly small brochure that they send out with the replacement.

I love my IPOD. It's the only gadget I use that I have used pretty much on a daily basis since I bought it 1 1/2 years ago. I panic if I've come to work without it.

But I don't know that I would call it durable.... I keep mine plugged into the wall so when I accidentally pull it off my desk, the plug catches it and keeps it from falling. =)

A very limited device? It just needs to play music, which it does extremely well. What else do you want it to do? Check your e-mail?



I have a device which costs about the same as an Ipod and is virtually the same size as an ipod and yet I can:

Watch full length movies on it's built in screen,
Record TV exactly like TIVO,
Play those shows back whenever and wherever I choose,
Output those movies and TV shows onto anyone's TV, in broadcast quality, wherever I happen to be,
Download the CF card from my D-SLR straight onto it through it's built in CF slot,
Brows and zoom into those photo's on it,
Store data on it to move huge files from one PC to another,
Show people my skydiving edits and photos on it,
And finally listen to plain old MP3's, either with earphones or through its built in speaker as well as do all the other Ipod style things such as create play lists on the fly etc.

There's even a model above mine which yes, does actually let you check your e-mail as well as use it as a full PDA and create word/excel docs etc... but then that costs a little more than an Ipod so wouldn't really be a fair comparison... but it's still the same size and plays MP3's.

I'm not saying the Ipod sucks or anything, it's fine - I just don't really think it's really possible to defend it from being called slightly "limited" when compared to some of its direct competitors.

I do think that the only reason it's as popular as it is is because it's advertised extremely heavily and looks really cool... but not because it actually outperforms everything else in the market.
