Windows iPod may be a bad thing for Apple
Isn't it true that when the iPod battery dies, your iPod is as good as a paper weight? Like when your cell phone battery dies and becomes unrechargeable, you can easily replace it, but with the iPod you can't replace the battery. Well if this is true, many windows users are going to be very pissed when their 400 dollar mp3 player becomes unrechargeable and they can't replace it with a new battery. Then Windows users will think that everything apple makes is just as bad as the iPod's design. What do you think? (This is the only reason I am not buying an iPod, bc I know in the future the battery will die and be irreplacable)

I understand now, I'm sure a 3rd party will offer a battery replacement program.

my guess?
when this starts to happen 2 dozen online stores/shops will pop up that replace it for you for a nominal fee and the problem is solved. they'll be out of warrenty by then anyway, so who cares if you take it apart?
