First, the thing starts at $300 so it's 1/3 the price. Yes $100 is expensive for a battery, but like it has been pointed out cell phone batteries are the same way. It's how these companies make money. In that movie that guy even said he used the thing NON STOP for 18 months. If you talked on your cell phone like that, the battery might last a month. Second, battery technology continues to be the limiting technology in ANY moblie electronic technology. In your laptop example, the iPod would be using NiCad batteries and not be able to charge through the firewire cable connected to your computer. How many products do that? For $100 they aren't only giving you a new battery, they are essentially giving you a new iPod. If you also consider the form factor of the iPod it would be very hard to make a user replacable battery and keep the thing water tight.

Loren, this is the reason you will be stuck in Bill rams me from behind PC hell forever. You read something on the internet about a movie some guy made and you believe it to be true. Yes the movie was true at the time it was filmed, but if you look at his website you will find that he comments on the current process and how it is really good. For $100 you send your iPod in, and they either give you a new or refurbished iPod of equivalent or larger size. Pretty shitty deal huh? Also I hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as a infinite-life battery (yes I know you are talking about life of use versus life of charge), I know people with $3k windows computers who's batteries have died in less than a years time, actually it's common place. What's more disgusthing, a super expensive laptop battery dying after a year or the iPod dying after 2 years? Last time I looked on Dell's site those batteries weren't cheap either. WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?

Greg have you ever seen a tower crane pick up post tensioning cables off of a truck?

Comparitively speaking the iPods are cheaper then the other garbage out there for what you get. Look at all the other 4gig players, they are the same price and they suck. Put some good headphones on an iPod Josh, there is no comparison.

The guy is trying to make a living off of something that he likes doing, why don't you guys just put the dick back in your mouth and shut up.

truly classic. this post should be engraved in a piece of frozen poo and enshrined in the muir hut for generations of scot'teryx and catbirdseat offspring to gape at with awe and reverence ROLF

YOU LIKE MEXICO?!?!?!?!?!

Or is it going to be GregW, who's on again off again relationship with banning is about to come to a close?

Come on who's going to have the first witty comback. Is it going to be CBS with his 5000 post of pure nauseating blabber?

Why don't you whiney fucking bitches start your own website. Tell you what, I'll start it for you, I'll register cascadesprayers.com today, I will set up a message board there, and you guys can talk about peeing in each others butts and other fun stuff. Otherwise STFU.

I think what is funny is people can't figure out that this is a total joke.

Dude the stuntaz are the shizzle man, but they have been posted here before.

It's that they're stupid and they will buy anything.

Tiger Woods is driving through the Irish countryside on a way to a golf match in his rented BMW. He pulls into an old gas station to get some gas in a region far from any golf course. After the man fills up the tank Tiger reaches into his wallet to pull out of some money and some golf tees fall to the ground. The old man goes "Eh lad, what are thooose?" "Oh they're tees, they hold your balls while your driving" explains Tiger. "Ahhh that BMW, they think of everything don't they!"

When the Amphitheater charges $40 or to "camp" I don't blame people for camping at the Feathers. That said it is irritating as hell, I've had a flew sleepless nights because of concert people coming back late and blowing shit off and playing stereos til sunrise.

Bronco I didn't want to say anything at the time, but even though Fry's seems to have everything I don't think they sell booster seats. Try McDonalds.

This is the only MSDS I've ever read.

FUCKENA DRU LOL You guys are a bunch of suckas, especially that rookie beyotch Bronco True story, I'm at Fry's in Renton and I'm getting into my eco friendly vehicle and there is this monster fucking F450 or something, huge lift, big tires, and who jumps out but Gary Coleman's long lost white brother... i mean brutha. Dude was about as tall as the tires, I don't think he could reach the door handle from the ground. ROFL
