Battery kit
I've bought a few iPods at eBay, and a second generation unit went from two hours playing time to less than one over time. Then, one sent the iPod to Apple and got a refurbished one in return. I looked here and there, then settled on a replacement battery kit from iPod ResQ for $25 or so. The instructions and tools were first rate, and the unit continues to play...for someone else who didn't have an iPod. As a user of "Wintel PCs" and Mac PowerBooks, I found that if you don't mind a used iPod, cost becomes less of an issue. Plus, I don't mind light scratches and the occasional stain on the plastic-it's a sign that the unit works and doesn't need Kid Glove treatment. After all, some iPod owners go ballistic when the case gets one tiny scratch. One final note: I was trolling eBay for a 3G iPod a while back, but found that 4G iPods were easier to come by and cost a bit less.
