iPod Battery Replacement now available

[::related_name_google::] [::related_name_google1::]
[::related_stories_google::] [::related_products_google::]
PDASmart.com is offering an iPod Internal Battery Replacement Kit, which is designed for the "classic" iPod (not the new 3G iPods): " The Do-It-Yourself kit comes complete with very detailed instructions and all the right tools to do the job without damaging your iPod (please don't pry open that case with a flat-tipped screwdriver!). We had this battery developed with the same lithium-ion polymer battery technology as the original and it is rated at 3.7 volts and 1500mAh." It is $60 and an optional mail-in service (plus battery) is $68.

Once again Capitalism and the Free Market saves the day.

...somebody supplies this service. hahaha.

For a company that has a past reputation of having great customer service, that's one area that they are falling short in nowadays. *sigh*

A product comes along which everyone apparently seems grateful to see and yet some people still find a way to bitch and point fingers at Apple for not offering it themselves. Ain't that typical.

What is it about these interactive Mac-industry sites that attracts these goofballs who have nothing better to do than act like they always know better or could do a better job than Apple is doing?

Damn, if only they weren't goofballs then maybe they could.

I wonder if you could stuff the slightly thicker toshiba 40 GB drive and one of the thinner 3G batteries into the thick 'classic' 20 GB case???

According to some comments on Macintouch today, some people tried to use a different drive (although the same make) in an iPod, and while it worked as a drive, it was not recognized in iTunes.

I don't see how this service has anything to do with Apple. They service your iPod while it's under warranty, and when it isn't you can order this battery. WTF else do people want?
