Myself and my family have had many Apple products, some for several years, and I've never known a battery to die. My mum has been using the same iPod for about 5 years, as has my sister with no problems whatsoever.

I can tell you that my son had an iPod Classic some time ago which needed to go back to an Apple Repair Centre as one of the headphone channels cut out. It wasn't anything he'd done, it just kept happening, and any headphones he tried made no difference. They told me during my conversation with them for their address details that if it was faulty, they would simply throw it outand replace the whole unit, so asked me to ensure he backed up all his stuff. Sure enough, he got a new one, and that was that.Now whether this is the extreme for replacement batteries I wouldn't like to say, but it is sadly annoying when you can't replace a component yourself asthis is indeed the case with Apple. Mind you, looking on the bright side, you have to send the Milestone back to RNIB to have its battery replaced too, and none of the other specialist players require that.

These things that have to be sent back forreplacement are a nuisance and I fear the battery may run quite expensive.Please tell me this is not the case. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Barbara Wilson" <barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 3:24 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendAs someone has already said, it's back to Apple to fix if under warranty.

I looked on Argos and Apple today, as well as elsewhere, but didn't see any variation in prices. I thought maybe Apple fix this one ... Anyway, the only other question I haven't yet asked is about the rechargeable batteries. Can you purchase these and fit them yourself, or is it another case of back to the manufacturer! -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "David" <n.weston42@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 8:36 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendHi Carol, The price is very much the same where ever you buy the ipod. Thou before Christmas Argos was selling the ipod touch 32 gb for £20 less that the Apple store.

Just can't quite decide whether to go for phone or the Ipod Touch. Strangely enough, we are also looking at Bose systems right now and I'm thinking of Bose speakers for my computer system which is away from the main stereo. Anyway, I now fully understand the difference between these two so shall be looking, though am disappointed as we don't have an Apple store very near at all. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 8:31 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendHi Carol With the iPod Touch, as long as you put your broadband security key in, you will be able to treat it like a PC online, where you can download material and browse the Internet. What you can't obviouslydo is make calls etc, because the phone part is not included. But, as I've said several times, the phone isn't the bit I want as I am happy with the handsets and Talks I use. I just love the iPod Touch for the applications it can work with. At the moment, for example, I have put my device through a set of Bose speakers, and am listening to Five Live Sports Extra so I can hear the tennis. Quality is very good and no drop-out or stuttering.

I hadn't thought about it going online, though I should, knowing that Apples stuff works with ITunes, and I certainly hadn't thought about it being able to run these other apps. Very interesting, for sure! So, does anyone know if all apps work across the board on their equipment? Just interested in how things work. ... -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 10:21 AM Subject: [access-uk] Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendMy Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it with my iPod Touch was extremely straightforward. So I decided to visit the App Store and, for 59p each, I bought four applications that work with VoiceOver. They are the World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and thesaurus, Tune In Radio and, probably my favourite, Birds of Britain. The latter is an amazing little program if you love bird sound and details. Not only can you play the song, but you can listen to VoiceOver provide a description of their size, colour, family, time of year etc. There is also a favourites button to use where you can add a library of your favourite birds to it. Tune In Radio is great. Similarly, there is a bookmark facility where you can make a list of the stations you wish to add. BecauseI love tennis, and the Australian Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty getting it on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal in these parts. So when I tuned in using the Sonata at 8.00 this morning, a message said that restricted rights prevented coverage. I find this often happens at weekends when football matches are in progress too. So I tuned my iPod to Sports Extra and, low and behold, got the tennis on live. All the above apps work with VoiceOver. I don't use my keyboard for everything, mainly when I get into tricky areas that need a bitof typing. Mostly, I use my fingers and have got used to doing so now. Just thought I'd pass on the info.
