Once in a while I get lucky I guess. I'm getting pretty close to the two year point and no trouble yet. (40 gb-no photo)

I use the thing constantly too. Most of the time hooked up to the car charger or the computer or the external plug thing so perhaps I'm not wearing out the battery too fast.

There are aftermarket kits with a battery, tool for opening the thing, and instructions through most online apple dealers. (try http://www.dealmac.com for info)

I've heard the problem with PCs and ipods though. Can't help you there. I think the thing is great and as progress marches on they'll only get smaller and better.

Check out the battery kits and good luck!
