http://live.pirillo.com/ – If you didn't already know, you can't easily change the battery on your iPod or iPhone. Why did Apple do this? Because, they want to control the entire user experience.

There are a lot of ways you can do it yourself, but you can also send your iPod/iPhone in to Apple and, for a fee, they'll change the battery for you.

You know the battery needs to be replaced when it doesn't hold a charge or discharges pretty quickly.

We would recommend iLounge – it's the definitive resource for anything i-related: iPod, iPhone, and everything Apple.

Do you have any recommendations?
