Since the battery in the IPOD is still not replaceable, I wonder what the
total life expectancy of an IPOD battery really is?

Not strictly on topic - but replacement iPod batteries are available these
days, and whilst it is not listed as a user serviceable part, apparently it
is actually quite easy to replace.

My series 3 30Gb device is still running fine after 18 months or so.

I thought that it was replaceable but that you had to send it back to Apple for
them to fit a new one.
 
I read somewhere else in this group that someone with an IPOD did buy the
replacement battery, spent a lot of time taking it apart and afterwards it
never ran again. He had first contacted a lot of people at Apple including
the chairman and always got same response " buy a new IPOD ". That is why I
posted this question now.
