This one guy was pissed off because apple upgraded the ipod battery but did not make this available for replacement under the warranty at the time. Any ipod people out there catch one of these signs? I bought the original iPod when they first came out (ditto the burning house-inanimate object comment). The battery failed about a year after I bought it. They sent me a box to ship the defective one back, and rapidly sent a new one (same model) with the upgraded battery. Is anyone else using iTrip to play through a car radio? One of my students turned me on to it after my cassette adaptor died (older car--no cd player), but I get a lot of static and it cuts out altogether at times. Any suggestions? Thanks, Kelley
