| 602117 | 2007-10-18 01:40:00 | I have a samsung one that has FM tuner too that is either 512 or 1gig - i forget which now. The mp3 player is really good, nice and compact but the tuner is pants. In fact it's that sh*te that I use the one on my phone when I want to listen to the radio nowdays. | england_rugbyworldchamps (10629) | ||
| 602118 | 2007-10-18 01:48:00 | Are the ipod batteries replaceable? JayCar sell the kits which include the tool and battery. And that was all without saying the A**** word:D |

| 602120 | 2007-10-18 01:55:00 | For what its worth I bought a Creative MuVo some time ago and have never had any problems with it. FM is ok, plays a number of formats, screen is ok, sound is ok - no worries! | andrew93 (249) | ||

By that time Apple will have superseeded the model you bought with another better one. Just because there is a new version out doesn't mean you should dump your old one & rush out & buy it. 2 years is not long enough. |

| 602123 | 2007-10-19 05:19:00 | I would not consider 3 years an acceptable product life - if mine dies that fast I will be giving Apple hell until it is fixed or replaced. 18 months for a battery is reasonable, and there are many third-party ipod batteries - no need to send the thing to Apple for servicing. |

Ill let you know after I have had mine for 3 years. Fortunately there are plenty of places out there who can happily replace an iPod battery. Interesting thing is that computers are often updated or upgraded within 3 years - of course some people have theirs for 10 years with the same OS and hardware. |

I still have computers here over 15 years old still going perfectly. | Erayd (23) | ||

I still have computers here over 15 years old still going perfectly. iPods shouldn't die either, the 3 years I was originally referring to was regarding the battery life not the iPod- hence the replaceable battery in older models Sorry for causing any misunderstanding. |
