Should I wait to get my iPod until the that MacWorld expo thingy is over with?

JIC they bring up perhaps 4th gens or maybe improved battery life...

I'm so tired of the battery thing, the battery is $50, damn get over it and its probably going to last you for about 3 years.

The ipods great, I love mine, I'll be surprised if the minis are more than rumors though.

Soybomb, considering that the iPod hasn't been out for 3 years, I'd be worried.

And so what if it hasn't, the rating is for a number of charge cycles, not years.

if u use standard batteries, u wouldn't have to worry about running out of battery because u'd have fully spares. whereas the ipod u'd have to dock it and charge it fully all the time to get max battery life when u go on a trip

a pair of 1900mAh's go for $4 tops

lager = coldcut.


Also, i would wait until after MWSF. They will not be announcing the 4th Gen (still a few months off for that), but they may be reducing prices of the current lineup. I would wait. What's a few days?

So now we're making excuses for a company to charge more for an inferior product with faulty componants? Wow. Hail Apple... they've douped consumers once again, and the consumers like it!

Explain how their product is "inferior".
