For out of warranty only:
I believe the deal is...you send your dead iPad back to Apple with $100+ and the great folks at Apple send you a replacement iPad (refurbished, scratch n' dent, whatever), however all of your personal data is gone (unless you backed it up *somewhere* before the battery died on you). Even if you DID back it up your personal data it's still on the dead iPad so you'll have to trust whoever the lowest bidder is for servicing iPad's happens to be at the time not to use your credit card acct to supplement their income.
It's a great deal for Apple but kinda sucks for their technopobic customers cause it's really not that difficult to pop the case and swap that battery.
