Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Am I the only one who still has a working non- click-wheel iPod?
I just sold mine. I replaced the battery a few months before, so it was still working well.
It's nice to once again be able to fit my entire music collection on a single iPod. But I'll probably have my 60 Gig iPod filled by the end of the year....
I still have a 1st generation, 5 gigabyte iPod. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of playtime on it these days.
Have you considered replacing the battery? I was surprised at how cheap it was. ($30-something for my 3G iPod.)
Have you considered replacing the battery?
I was, but the 5G of space is getting kind of cramped anyway...
Well, here's a link if you wanna check it out: [link]
Was replacing the battery yourself reasonably ok?

Yeah.
I was confused by their printed instructions but they have videos you can watch - then I saw how simple it was.
Cool. Thanks for the link.
There are cheaper places to get batteries from. But this site said that theirs were the best, and that they had the best tools and instructions, so I decided to go with them.
Am I the only one who still has a working non- click-wheel iPod? No one seems to carry skins for these (and haven't for at least a year).
I do! I think I got it only a few months before the click-wheel came out. It's just over 2 years old now. Which isn't/shouldn't be that old!!
Then I guess I have a non-click-wheel iPod, too. Mine turns 3 this summer.
