Well Oxford, explain to me how a battery that wouldn't hold a charge for
more than 24 hours while turned off relates to the fact I use a PC.

While you're at it can you also explain how the fact that it took 4
returns and 6 calls to get Apple to finally "fix" the bad battery
problem by sending a new unit relates to my using a PC?

The iPOD was anything BUT perfect... it had a defective battery and
that's why they had to replace it (of course, if the brilliant Apple
designers had added a battery door I could have just popped in a new
battery but I guess having an easily replaceable battery isn't "modern
tech" - just practical).

Whether a Dual Core Intel PC or Apple machine is better is a subject
for another time and place (as is top vs bottom posting). But based on
my experience with Apple service I'll stick with my Sony PC, Sensa MP3.

Apple has beautiful if not always practical designs and there is no
taking away from the their marketing prowess with the iPOD and the
iPhone and even some of their computer designs. But after such a
horrendous experience with their service deptartment I'll just have to
pass.

Mine was a battery problem too (see response to Oxford). They finally
realized it on the 4 try. My Sensa MP3 player sounds great and runs 14
hours on a AAA battery. When it dies I pop a new one in in a few
seconds.

Because of the implementation of USB on some PC's it's dicey at best.
You tried to connect a high quality product (the iPod) to a low end
device (a PC) so it's clear the PC was at fault here. What brand of PC
was it?

But that wasn't related to Apple, they sent you 4 different iPods? and
the (3,5 one worked) or did you get a new PC / plug it into a different
USB port in the meantime?

Either way, why people continue to beat themselves up with PC's is
beyond reason. Get a Mac and live a better life.

Replacing a battery on the iPod is easy, but adding a door would created
consumer quality issues. iPod batteries last a LONG time. 3-5 years on
average, so it's a cheaper, more eco friendly, more reliable way to go
compared to using old fashioned AA / AAA batteries. Spending $19.95 on 1
iPod battery sure beats spending $90 for the same power using AA/AAA
ones, then you always have to worry about running out of power, with an
iPod, you just plug it into FireWire or USB, done.

Was it Apple's service, or somewhere like Compusa? Just curious.

There aren't 3 million idiots, but 3-20 million smart people that want
this smart phone. People that demand the very best in life will want the
iPhone on that first day, you'll get one at some point, but since it
appears you don't have any income you'll have to wait until a less
featured model is created for your economic status level.

What very colorful flavor KoolAid are they serving today?

No sane individual willingly pays-to-beta bleeding edge appliances.

there really isn't anything "bleeding edge" on the iphone outside of the
multi-touch technology which is working quite well.

the iPhone is running OSX so you need to keep that in mind, all the
battle testing of the phone occurred years ago, so the Apps and services
will be fine.

Plus AT&T at the request of Apple tested this phone twice as long as any
phone they have ever tested. It will work just fine, you'll see.

yes, people that don't get an iphone will fast be using the "equivalent"
of that technology. (as seen in the link above) All cell phones outside
of the iphone become obsolete starting at 6:01pm tomorrow. Nobody will
have a phone this good for 1/2 a decade at least, so congrats to
everyone at Apple all the very hard work.
