I've heard that the ipod batter dies out after 18 months. i don't know which generation or whatever this is in, but i think its for all ipods. not sure. but how is apple going to fix this problem? have they found a solution to it or what.
They sell 90$ battery replacement for all third generation (touch buttons - most recent ones - the ones supposed to have this problem) ipods without warranty or you can buy the apple care ipod warranty for like 50$ and have 3 years without worry.

I thought it was the originals that had the problem...I mean, the third generation hasn't even been out for 18 months, has it? Or am I completely off...

If the proper steps are taken to ensure proper battery maintenance (IE: calibrating the battery and only charging when completely drained) then you should see a very robust and long lasting battery (well over the propagandized 18 months). I also suggest buying the ipod apple care (59 bucks). It covers everything in the ipod should it fail and guarentees replacement for free on all parts and/ or the whole unit.
But I would consider waiting for the fourth generation iPods...as I am doing. No point in getting a third gen when they are about to be replaced (the last update was september...it's about time)
