well, i'm pretty sure you are still under the warranty since it is the fourth generation, i'm pretty sure you can contact apple and they would fix it for you. If that doesn't work just get one from ebay, i'm pretty sure they sell fourth generation batterys there for the cheapest you can get them. i hope that helped

The 4G iPod is so new that 3rd party companies ahve not developed a battery for it. I am surprised your battery if toast. What did you do, completely discharge and recharge it everyday? If it is less than a year old then Apple will gladly fix it for you. If it is not under warranty then the only way to repair it would be to send it off to Apple for the price of $100. You will not be able to put a 3rd party battery made for different iPods into the 4G iPod.

yea you wil probably have to send it in to apple 4 99 bucks if it isnt a year old yet, other than that, the other guys are right, ebay is the only other option. apple or ebay.
take better care of your ipod, it shouldnt be burnt out already. either you wrecked it or its defective.

The 4g Ipods do not have a user replaceable battery, you are supposed to send it to Apple to have it replaced. However like previously stated it should still be under warranty.

NO.
People need to read their warantys. I did *not* buy iPod from apple, and i Still returned it to the AppleStore when my clickwheel failed.
