i was also wondering how much apple may charge if i the battery needs to be replaced for the ipod...since its not removable..i've heard its difficult. also lot of ppl buy ipod only for its cool factor...
for around 14 hours of music playback, iPod ain't bad.
normal iPod battery easily lasts around 4 years. I doubt you'll need a recharge.
secondly, you can connect your iPod to car stereo by two ways:
1. use a iPod to cassette convertor.
2. use iPod fm transmitter. (your car stereo catches the iPod songs on fm frequency).
either of the above two options is available for less than 500 bucks.
for the budget you got, get an iPod nano. worth the money.
why do I say all this? I own a video Pod and I'm happy with it's performance
