Repair Sharks - The iPod Repair Guys

We often get asked if it makes sense to replace a working iPod battery. The answer to this question depends on a few factors. The iPod battery can typically last year’s inside your iPod however over time you may start to notice that your iPod play time starts to diminish. If you are a regular user of your iPod and enjoy getting a full day’s worth of playback then you may want to consider replacing your battery after a few years of use.

Everyone uses their iPod differently, if you are a constant video watcher or if you like to let your iPod run through for long periods of time then changing your iPod battery can be a good idea. The new replacement batteries available on the market allow for even longer runtime than your original battery in many cases. New iPod battery technology allows for larger capacity batteries to fit into the same space within your iPod. The new Lithium Polymer and Lithium Ion technology used in today’s modern batteries can supply your iPod with long lasting playback of all your music and videos.

There are a few other reasons to change your battery. Just like any other battery the iPod battery is no different.   Constant and repeated charging cycles can deplete your iPod battery capacity resulting in less playback ability. Leaving your iPod sitting around for long periods of time will also deplete the battery, usually within a week or two you will notice less battery power than when you started.  iPods also like to have a decent charge to operate properly. This is particularly evident in the hard drive based iPods where adequate power is necessary to fully operate the iPod Hard Drive. The newer iPod Touch screen models utilize large LCD screens which can also run down your battery if constantly used. Constant use of applications, games, and the Wi-Fi mode can also attribute to battery loss.

iPod Battery replacement is an affordable option for the consumer. It is relatively inexpensive to replace your battery and you can ensure you will get a long life out of your iPod. Experienced and professional repair centers can replace your battery quickly without causing any damage to your iPod or other internal components.

The hardware from the new 3rd generation Touch utilizes a modified hardware platform from the 2nd Generation in the 32 and 64gb models which was released a few months ago. I believe the new iTablet is based on a similar SSD storage setup.

They are taking this to the next step with the use of the intel atom processor. My guess is that in a nutshell it’s a glorified iPhone/Touch the size of a netbook with touch screen capabilities using the digitizer technolgoy from the Touch and iPhone. Apple then pairs the advanced hardware with similar software from the iPhone that extends the reach of the Touch and iPhone enabling features not available through the handheld devices.

Having repaired many Touch and iPhones you realize there really isn’t much inside that is user replaceable which overall probably helps keeps costs down significantly by keeping all the components on the board for the most part. From a marketing standpoint it looks like it’s a direct competitor with netbooks.

Yes ladies and gentleman it’s a big iPod Touch. My guess is a $399-499 pricetag.

Consider buying Apple Stock, last time they announced a new product it sold 1 million in less than a month and the stock went up. This product will have a wider audience given it isn’t locked into any carrier agreements but given its pricetag and market I do not suspect it will hit that number out of the gate. It will however add a new area to their lineup which is a lower cost platform and new target audience for Apple to market towards.

This is just my guess seeing what specs have been released as well as some of the photos. My guess tells me that it will sit somewhere between an iPod Touch/iPhone and a laptop.  Strangely similar to a netbook  wouldn’t you say? It even looks like a giant iPod Touch.
