UK's bid for cheaper iPod batteries
Concern over the lifespan of the rechargeable battery in Apple's iPod has reached the UK's House of Commons, with 11 MPs putting their names to a motion calling for the company to ensure that replacement batteries are plentiful in supply and priced at a reasonable level.
[blockquote]Labour MP for Chorley, Lindsay Hoyle, tabled the motion, stating his concern regarding the "difficulty people are having in replacing batteries for iPods".
He notes: "iPods were a favourite Christmas present, with a value of between £250 to £400, but when people come to buy replacement batteries they find that they cost £100 and that they have little knowledge of where such batteries can be obtained from".
