The ipod has a battery that you can pop out and replace.
"The ipod has a battery that you can pop out and replace."
o.k. man. I'm sure computer scientists will get a kick out of reading the 'instruction manual' and getting out the toolkick to replace a battery. This link about how to change the battery makes it clear that Apple has made it as difficult as possible to do without sending it back to the factory and doling out a hundred bucks for Apple's expert technicians to change the battery.

The fact that the i-pod firmware blocks all other major music websites other than i-tunes also indicates that they are trying to create a monopoly for online music distribution. monopoly=more cash for Apple. "think different" indeed.
