Thing I noticed about the iPod TV ads

Did they ever resolve the dead battery issue? I remember hearing a year or so ago that the iPods would stop working after about a year of use, because the battery would no longer hold a charge. That's pretty common for rechargeable batteries, but the problem with the iPod was that they didn't offer new batteries for sale. There was basically no way to replace the battery. I don't have an iPod, so I don't know if that's still true, or if they fixed it.

I don't know if that's shrewed, or stupid. Microsoft is evil, but people still buy their crap. Maybe Apple is deciding to follow suit. They don't care if their customers are pissed off in a year or two. They still make the sale.
