Like many people, I have an older iPod (3G, 40 GB) with terrible battery life (<1 hour), and I'm looking enviously at the new iPod Classics. If I got a new one, it would be the 160 GB Classic, refurbished (probably $299).
Which do you think is the best option:
*Buy 160GB Refurb (~$299), dispose of 40 GB
*Buy New 160GB with 10% Recycling discount
*Buy ~ $20 replacement battery and install myself
*Buy $70 Apple replacement battery
And here are some important, related questions:
***Does Apple give you a new (or newer) iPod generation-wise with the $70 purchase?
*Is there anyway to apply the 10% recycling discount to a refurb?
*Any point in selling the thing on eBay with terrible battery life?
Thanks a ton in advance!
