iPod's dirty secret
iPod has a secret. Casey Neistat recorded a phone call to the iPod helpdesk. They wanted to know what they should do now their iPod's battery stopped working after 18 months. It turns out you can't get or buy a separate new battery. So the advice from the helpdesk was: "Just buy a new iPod".
So that's why they keep selling so much of them, you apparently have to replace the every year and a half. The rest of the film you see them walking on the streets and spray painting a warning on every iPod ad they see.
So, do you have an iPod? How old is it? And how much longer do you think it will work?

Great! Now they only need to inform their helpdesk they have this service available and they're done.
Yeah but ya know. If I spend $350 on something that I know in 18 months I'm going to have to replace for $65 that's gonna get old.. fast.
This is old news! "Get a new iPod" was Apple's original response. Now, as damien pointed out, they have a replacement option for $60.
If you want a cheaper option, go to ipodbattery.com for $30 replacements. You do the installation, they include the necessary tool and instructions for opening up the iPod.
