I also had to send my DAB radio back and was told they'd probably just replace it. I'm waiting now to have it (or a new one) back. That didn't hold the battery after just over a year.

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 out and 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 as this 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.

I don't know how much a battery would be, I just know if
something happens it you go back to Apple. I have never
yet heard of anyone having to do this though.

Sorry Barbara, my question though was a general one as
and when the battery needs replacing.  These things that
have to be sent back for replacement are a nuisance and
I fear the battery may run quite expensive.

Please tell me this is not the case.

As someone has already said, it's back to Apple to fix
if under warranty.

Carol

Do you mean a spare battery? They come with the
battery already in place, so you don't need to fit.

Interesting.  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!

Hi 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.

OK, I do understand that Brian but don't know
exactly
where they're sold and
was surprised to learn about Argos.

Is there much difference in price as you look around
and any way of finding
the prices from these different stores, please?

Jackie,

I'm getting more and more hooked.  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.

Hi 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 obviously

do 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.

Jackie,

I never realised you could do so much with the
Ipod
Touch.  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. ...

My 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.  Because

I 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 bit

of typing. Mostly, I use my fingers and have got
used to doing so now.

Just thought I'd pass on the info.

Jackie Cairns
