A lot of people have iPods and their batteries are fine after a year. My
brother's iPod is a year old and it's still going strong.

I'm sure for most people, the battery will last for a couple of years (3 or
4?) before it needs to be replaced. By then, you might as well buy a new
player rather than replace it.

I really hope this device does not sell. We will have a bunch of zombie
like folks walking around walking into things because they were too busy
watching movies to see where they were going and what they were doing.

That's what the manufacturer wants you to think. That way you can spend
the big bucks every few years buying their stuff. A lot of folks fall for
that ploy.

Everything you buy is either experimental, or obsolete.
