    iPod touch What's the total battery life of an IpT5?

    I've been using my IpT5 for over 3 years now. Of course, the battery life's waned significantly, but I can still get in a good 1 to 2.5 hours gaming (never actually tried that long though) before the battery meter goes red. Anybody know how much longer I have until it becomes "unusable" (ie...

    Battery for PowerBook G3 Pismo

    I have just bought a lovely G3 Pismo from eBay, but the battery is toast! I am in the UK and have been trawling the web and eBay for a battery. No luck so far. Does anyone know where I can get either an original (unlikely) or good replacement battery in the UK? Thanks in advance.

    Has anyone gotten their battery replaced by Apple?

    One rep told me that, despite my Apple Care+ policy, Apple had to agree that the battery was significantly degraded (~1000 charges) before they would replace it. I'm not too happy about that. Has anyone had luck getting Apple to replace their battery?
