Ok, so I've more or less decided I've got to get an iPod (40 Gig
probably) and I've read up on a lot of reviews (cnet.com) but I do have
a concern about the battery. Lots of people are saying that it must run
down eventually - when?, and what happens then - will Apple be replacing
them or offering a replaceable one? Will it be covered on an extended
warranty?
Hey, if this is nothing to worry about tell me that too!!!

Thanks

By the way, anyone using this to transfer large amounts of data? I was
thinking of getting a portable hard drive, but my average data transfer
need is probably going to be about 10 Gigs a shot, and with a 40 Gig
iPod I'm sure I can just make do with only 6,000 songs...
Is there any quirks to transferring data, I'd be doing this probably
once or twice a week - is there any performance loss etc.

Thanks again...
