There is a big difference between the Ipod and the aIr. One tops out at $400; the other starts at $1800. They basically made a disposable laptop.

And the battery was a problem on the Ipod. I remember when it first came out. One early adopter had a bad battery, just past the warranty. Apple told him to buy a new one. It was $400 at the time. Instead, he made a documentary about his experience that got Apple enough negative publicity that they released a battery replacement kit.


P.S. Heavy users often have several batteries that they swap out so the can keep working. The aIr won't let them do that.
