Looks like Apple lost in court about its battery claims. If you have a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen iPod and its battery went bad you can get $50 Credit, a replacement iPod, or $25. http…

Very interesting indeed. I'm surprised Apple caved on this one. Doesn't this set a very dangerous precedent that could expose Apple to liability over other claims of reduced batter…

It is nice to see they recognise the problem, and even taking in to account the 'floodgates' argument, people have been caught out and should be reimbursed. A recent holiday showe…

Not all iPods have crappy battery life. My new 3G 40GB is 18 months old and seems to last about 6 hours. Not great, but not too bad. My wife's 3G 30GB refurb was getting 2.5 hou…

As you say 1/8 battery. You are only looking at the indicator. That is software based and not acurate all the time. It can jump up and down depending on what the iPod's doing. If y…

I bought a new battery for $25 online and installed it myself. Honestly, $25 on a battery every two years isn't a bad deal. Though I'll gladly take $50 credit from Apple. Any …

I just got the claim form in the mail. My 2nd generation iPod's battery died, but I don't have it any more and I never wrote down the serial number. It sucks because I can't claim …

My 1st gen iPod had problems with battery life because it drained too often. I realize batteries don't last for a lifetime. Although, they are marketed that way sometimes. I bought…

do we have to run any tests to get the credit/battery/new ipod, or is it up to the user on if the battery life is inadequate? i got my form, but my ipod is ok at around 5-6 hours,…

And why AGAIN is this only for US people. I mean, even people outside of the US have bought 1/2/3G iPods. Yeah, I'm really sure!

Does anyone know what i would get if i traded in my 30gb 3G ipod? the iPod photo is the only one in the 30gb flavor and it wouldn't be nice to get downgraded to the 20g. I'm hoping…

Has anybody received their settlement yet?

Not yet. They confirmed that they've received my claim but no Apple Store voucher at this time.

Just wondering. Has anybody received their settlement yet?

How do you know if your i-pod falls into which generation....I have a Nano got it for xmas in '05. Does this mean mine is affected by this battery problem??

Kerry, I think claims had to be recieved by September or something. That would mean yours is not covered, I believe. I don't think nano's were affected anyways. *eagerly awaits $5…
