That battery already die on the iPad you don’t have yet???

Don’t worry, Apple has you covered, actually, they really have you covered. So let’s say you are sitting, looking at interweb pr0n on that trust mobile filth device, and all of a sudden, your batter goes splat, nothing, won’t hold the charge, won’t allow you to view the lovely lady humps plastered through out the webs… What do you do? Give Apple a yell and they’ll tell ya it is no big deal, we have such a huge back stock of these things, we’ll just replace the entire iDevice! Here is a snippet from Apple’s site regarding replacement:

“If your iPad requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee.”

I remember for the iPhone, only getting the option to have it serviced, now they’ll just replace the entire device for around $100. I mean, this actually isn’t isn’t the best thing for us end users. Well, I guess you do get a new device, but, all your personal data is now gone, unless you backed it up, which Apple recommends you do. We’ll see how this works out from users once they get their iPads in their hands, for now we’ll just have to wonder, is this something Apple is really planning on happening? Have they had some test units all have bad batteries?
