UK's bid for cheaper iPod batteries

edited January 2004 in Nerdery
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".

    If so, that one does look pretty nice, with the Find feature. Many times want a song I know is on there, but where the **** is it?!?!
