Now the British House of Commons has decided to insert itself into this whole pseudo-controversy over the iPod and its battery life. From a motion submitted earlier this week:

That this House notes with concern the difficulty people are having in replacing batteries for iPods, the new pocket sized walkmans; notes that iPods were a favourite Christmas present, with a value of between £250 to £400, but that when people come to buy replacement batteries they find that they cost £100 and that they have little knowledge of where such batteries can be obtained from; and calls on the supplier, Apple, to ensure that replacement batteries are plentiful in supply and priced at a reasonable level.

This, of course, fails to take notice of Apple’s new £79 battery replacement program they just introduced in the UK earlier this week.
