Ja nu är det inget rykte längre, MacRumors rapporterar att Apple officiellt presenterat batteribytesprogrammet på supportsidan för iPod:

Såhär står det bland annat på sidan (markeringarna är mina):
If the troubleshooting steps did not solve your issue, your iPod
may need to be serviced. Before you send your iPod for service, you
should try the following four steps:
1. If your iPod is frozen or won't turn on, your iPod may be paused or
on "hold." Press the hold button and check the screen.
2. If your iPod is frozen or won't turn on, plug your iPod in, press
and hold the "Menu" and "Play/Pause" buttons simultaneously for
approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod. Don't worry. Resetting
your iPod will not affect your music, data files, or customized
preferences.
3. If your iPod won't turn on, your iPod may not be charged. Plug your
iPod in, wait for a moment, turn the power on, and check the screen.
4. If your iPod fails to hold a charge and it's more than a year old,
you may need a new battery. Click Continue to order iPod battery
service for $99 USD. This program is not available in Europe at this time.
NOTE: iPod equipment that is sent in for battery service or service requiring other repairs will be replaced with functionally equivalent new, used, or refurbished iPod equipment. You will not receive the same iPod that was sent in for service.
Order iPod service right here! You will need your serial number to
order service for your iPod. If your iPod is not under warranty, there will be a fee for service.
