I'm interested in replacing my iPod with the Battery Service provided by Apple. However, I was wondering what iPod it will be replaced with. I have a 3rd generation now, will they replace it with a 3rd generation? Or will it be a 5th?

Much thanks.

I'm not sure if they still have 3G iPods around (I could be wrong) but the apple service is expen$ive. You should really just order the kit from my above post. I only takes 10min to change the battery yourself, and with their supplied tools there are NO scratches or damage done.

Spend the extra $70 saved on something worthwhile. IMHO, the Apple service is a waste.

Hey Mark - I watched the installation video; it certainly looks easy. Did you have any problems opening the iPod case? Were there any issues reseating the HDD connector or closing the iPod Case back up? Thanks for the info; I think I may be purchasing one soon.

Getting the case open was the hardest part, but instructions were accurate.

Mentally, you have to overcome the fear of pulling and prying on your iPod harder than you think you should. I have ZERO scratches or evidence that I opened the case. Just follow the directions word for word.

The HDD connector was no big deal and closing the case back up was easy.

Just be careful and you cant go wrong.

Well the reason I'm looking at the battery service is because there's basic wear and tear but my screen has one deep scratch in it. For anyone who has used this, how much of a hassle is the Battery Service, are there alot of hidden charges and stuff, and also, what are the chances that I will get a 4th or 5th (preferably 5th) generation iPod. If I'm going to get another 3rd, I'll just get a new battery, as what I really want are some of the new features on the iPods.
Thanks everyone

I'm a bit slow on the uptake guys, so bear with me...

My 3G (told ya) iPod has been suffering these kinds of problems for a while now. Does this mean that if I put it in to the battery replacement programme at the grand cost of $59+shipping that I'll get a brand new iPod 5G? Or will I get a refurbed 3G/4G?

Just wondering as I'm gonna sell up my iPod to by an X5, and if I can get a brand new one for $59, it means I'll end up with a lot more NET to spend on an X5

I used to have an ipod, and replaced the battery with one sold at my local bestbuy, comes with a kit and instructions, not hard at all.
