Pros: Cheap compared to other replacement solutions that consist of the same exact materials. 2 plastic wedges instead of only 1 others supply. Complete instructions along with pictures in grammatically correct English included.
Saved my ipod from the trash.
 
Cons: Plastic on the 2 tools is a bit weak, the manual says to resharpen them with a knife but both wore down very quickly, actually used a thick American Eagle all access pass to open up my ipod when the two tools didnt work.
 
Other Thoughts: Kinda forgot about my 3g ipod it was sitting on a shelf at the bottom of a book case, havent used it in a number of years. Im glad that i found it again after i got my new ipod touch 2nd gen as a present. Decided to replace the battery (which originally apple had a free replacement for after that big settlement, but i never got around to do it.
 
Bottomline: Saved me a bunch of money, Ipod actually had a HD malfunction, considering it was from 2003, worked after a couple of failed reformats and restores and the slap trick. to get into diagnostic mode to check this newly installed battery, hold menu and play until it resets then immediately press FF RW and Select to enter diagnostics.

Pros: I had an old 3G 40GB iPod hanging around that was collecting dust and saw this battery on DX for such a low price that I thought I may as well get my old iPod kicking again.
 
Cons: Rubbish tools to do the job with. I almost feel that they shouldn't include them so that users expect to need a screwdriver or some thin blade on-hand for the task. That said, I managed to insert the new battery on a bumpy car trip.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Like mine, I imagine there are lots of old iPods hangign aroudn that people no longer have a use for (because of mobile phones with MP3 players and such) but at least you can bring it back to life and give it to a friend or sell it or as a last resort, use it as a back-up device or other storage.

Pros: - Can be used to replace dead 3G iPod batteries
- Decent capacity, my friend reported about 7-8 hours on a charge with his 40GB model
- Once the iPod was open, installation was pretty easy (just take the old one out, put the new one in, close the iPod)
- Came about 50% charged, which is about right for Li-ion batteries.
 
Cons: - Included tools are very flimsy. I had to resort to a swiss army knife to get the iPod open.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Get this if you have an old iPod that still works but has a dead battery.

Pros: -Good Battery
-Rejuvinates Dead Pod
-Lasts 6-7 Hours on a charge
-Cheap, on eBay it is atleast 10$ shipped
-Opening Tools included, so make the job a bit easier.
 
Cons: -A bit smaller than normal battery. May rattle around
-850 mAH may be a bit less
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Cheap good iPod battery that will rejuvinate a dead iPod and will give juice for approximately 6-7 Hours. Opening tools make for an added bonus.
I also recomend leaving it to charge ovrnight, as that somehow gives it maximum charge
I have even ordered a second one, as now my moms iPod is also dead.
