Movie. Save target as..... or whatever.


A 10gb Ipod costs $299, US. Replacement batteries are now available....for $99 US. :x



PS: Not bashing Macs. Just letting everyone know the whole deal. Ipod is pretty sweet if your willing to pay the price.

$49.99 and they're pretty simple to replace. That NYC art school drop out in your video is a moron. I wouldn't have bought my iPod if the battery weren't replaceable. Everyone knows that rechargeable batteries die out eventually.

In that case there was no excuse for the guy on the end of the phone to say he should just buy a new ipod or pay £250 dollars or whatever to refurbish it.

Because customer service representatives are salesmen in disguise.

I'm thinking of getting one of those 20GB ones. I have a Archos Jukebox 10GB mp3 player that's lasted for around a year and a half and is almost full. But the price...

Don't just blindly choose an iPod. Look at these first:

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen NX - 30GB (for the price of a 10GB iPod)
Rio Karma - 20GB ($50 less than the 20GB iPod)
iRiver iHP-120 - 20GB (same price as 20GB iPod)

I would recommend any of those.

I'm going with the iHP-120, myself. It may be the most expensive of the three (retails at $400, but I found one for as low as $320) but it has lots of features (like a built in MP3 encoder, Ogg Vorbis support, all kinds of in/outputs, an FM tuner, a built-in microphone, an external microphone, a remote, reads text files, etc) and the sound quality is great if you have a nice set of headphones (or you can hook it up to your home theater system).

I don't mind people defacing iPod ads in NY because there are about 3,000,000,000 of them all over the city.

We get the point, OK?

Same thing in Sam Francisco. But it's not just iPods anymore. iMacs, iTunes and all that iShit. Every freaking billboard is some kind of stupid Macintosh ad.

Someone coded linux for the ipod.
