So if my first-gen Touch's battery is dead - it won't hold a charge for long, but it works fine while it's plugged in - that's something that's fixed by replacement, right?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'd probably replace the battery but it's not something for the faint of heart.
It would be fun to try, tho...

Wow, that looks really finicky and difficult.

mr. flea replaced the battery in a 1st gen iPod several years ago. He found it fun, but he's That Guy. I wouldn't have done it, myself!

t, for what it's worth, it's really worth upgrading to a 4th gen iTouch -- I did, and the Retina display screen alone is worth it!!! Plus it has more features, better battery life, and all that.

I'm planning to "upgrade" my phone to an iPhone in December, so I was hoping to keep the Touch working for that long. Everything that the instructions warn you to be careful and not break, I would break. Fiddly bits are not my strong suit.
That service is a lot more reasonably priced than I expected, le nubian, thanks!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have what is probably a very stupid question. If I'm syncing my iPhone with iPhoto *and* keeping the phone's camera roll (not deleting the photos that have been imported), am I storing those pics on the phone twice? Or is it smart enough to know not to reimport its own photos?

Query: Anyone use Google Voice?
I am thinking about it, for my freelance business, but although I'm doing research, I'd like to get some info from people who have used it, loved it, hated it, whether it's a waste of time, awesome, whatever.

I love Google Voice. I give out its number as my cell number and have it forward to my cell. That way I can also get texts & messages on my 'puter.
Also, I often work at home these days. During those days, I'll forward the GV number to my home phone. Lots of my cow-orkers are in other states, so I use its FREE calling feature to make long distance calls. I rarely notice any latency.
Also, also, calls to Canada are also free. What with the Canadian FAQWife, this has saved us lotsa Loonies.
