I'm not sure how much of a concern this is for all iPod owners (and I'm sure many of you have heard about this allready), but I thought I'd post it anyway. My dad hasn't charged his iPodas much as many people do, so he hasn't had problems (yet).

Ticked-off user's website

Definitely watch that video. It's pretty good. He obviously got pretty pissed off

I think the vid's been posted before. Apparently you can replace them, there's a website that sells them.

So does apple (for the past couple months) which makes this guys continuing rant and all the media coverage this has gotten rather sad.

If you look here:

You will find that the guy who did the film agrees that Apple's new policy is fair.
