This is like R x 100000...I think AT needs a "let's trash iProducts" forum all for itself.

you can replace the battery yourself. BUT first I would suggest charging it to full. Unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in to charge to full again. Surprisingly I bet it'll take more than 20 mins to return to full charge. Do this about 3 times.

The battery indicator sucks on the iPods, the software will think it's at full charge and won't charge anymore.

I'm on my 3rd mini now and I just got it in late Feb for my birthday. The last one was defective right from the box.

I swear that Gurck wrote a script or something that notifies him when an iPod thread is made on Anandtech.

Boss, update after you have tried my suggestion. I'm really interested in seeing if that's the cause of most people complaints here about battery life.

I've had mine since they first came out as well. I've dropped it on hard linoleum several times. Still works like a champ. No problems with charging either.

Sounds like homie has bad luck. :Q

A very informed opinion I see...


funny thing is I agree almost 100% with you. I think the ipod itself is cool as well as their laptops but the rediculous prices they charge for them blows.
