There are I HATE IPODS websites out there - look them up.

Seen them. They're wrong.

And they're not hard-wired. They have a tiny plug, like a cordless phone.

Both of these batteries are under $30.

Your information is wildly inaccurate.

Your information is wildly inaccurate.

Nope. You must dissect the Ipod to replace the battery and doing so voids the warranty and is beyond the capability of most users.

Apple has lowered the price on battery replacement from $200 to $99. Apple clearly states the Ipod was not designed to be opened by the user but there is an article in Popular Mechanices about how to replace the battery - or you can buy a Creative Nomad that is designed to open and uses a readily available battery.

More important:

Creative Nomad 40GB - $179.00 (best buy w/rebate)

Apple Ipod 20GB - $300.00 (Apple Store)

Apple has half the storage and costs about twice as much and Apple does not support all the popular audio formats. The Ipod is a very nice device and I would have bought one if its price was not so out of sync with the market. Some people don't mind paying a lot more just to get the little Apple logo.
