That explains a lot, what a bloated piece of crap. The next apple fanboy to promote that pos should be tarred and feathered.

it's actually 256mb

Im ordering the ipod on thursday when the banks are open (30gb ipod video - black, with engraving :) )

Thanks to all the replied.
You can go back to your debate about iTunes now :p

How come you don't get it from DSE, which is cheaper, and you can get a 3 year warranty for $50? If you get the 3 year apple warrenty on their website, it is over $100. Perhaps they are sold out, as I see some retailers only have white ones left which aren't as popular.

510139 2006-12-30 04:24:00 There is an interesting article in the Dom Post today (Wgtn) about iPods and how Apple, in their wisdom, have now soldered the battery to the board. Previously, if the battery failed, you could get a technician to change the battery as it wasn't soldered, now it is, so as to make it harder to change... or is it to make it slightly more reliable. :waughh: dolby digital (5073)

Surely you can just unsolder it. I believe you can also send it to apple to get the battery replaced, but I think they then give you a reburbished unit. If they did this, and you send in your unscratched ipod in perfect condition, I would be pretty annoyed if they then sent back one which has scratches on it, and would probably want them to replace it with one in the same condition. I don't actually understand why they don' make the betteries replaceable, such as on your laptop, however I suppose they expect people to upgrade to a newer one when the battery dies. The non replaceable battery is the reason why many people don't like apple and ipods.

510141 2006-12-30 05:05:00 When ipod sends you back a reburished unit they give you a new body but with used/2nd hand/wateva, inside.

Why they dont offer replaceable batteries?, simple, if the battery dies, you have to go to them to replace it and they can charge loads for it.

510142 2006-12-31 04:01:00 Anyone deciding to get a new iPod should wait till after Mac World Expo when all the new toys have been announced and any "old stuff" has had the price knocked down a bit.

"MacScoop is reporting that an 8-core Mac Pro is currently due for a January release. MacScoop also reports that a 4-core configuration may remain in Apple's lineup at a lower price point."

510143 2006-12-31 05:38:00 Can't quite find the Creative for that. Depending on where you are buying some DSE stores have minimal stock left at $498.

I can get the new 60GB Zen Vision:M for $554 + about $5 for freight.



Hmm yea

I can too get a 60GB Vision M at around $554

I also can get vision W 30 or 60GB if your interested
