What will happen to the ipod when...
heljy:
... the internal battery not longer charges. Its going to happen sooner or later. And since there's no way we can change the battery ourself, does that mean we simply have to throw it away!??! Apple probably will replace the battery for some price, but what happens if they no longer support it, like say in another 5 years?

Simple, it will. Apple is great about supporting legacy hardware, I still have support for my PPC 7500, and I'm pretty sure my dad get's support for his ancient little Newton.

I think Apple supports its products for 7-9 years (depending on the product) before discontinuing service.
Gateway/Dell/HP/Compaq go for around 2-3 years, 4-5 if you REALLY dig. But after around 3 years it becomes impossible to find things like bezels etc.
heljy:
How long does the battery last anyway?
1 year?
I heard that the battery for the ibook is rated to last for a year....

BULLSHIT!
My PBG3 battery has been going strong for 3 years of regular use.
