Did you get the new battery?

I thought this was an interesting thread. . . but I want to know the rest of the story...

Sure, the ipad died 4 days before the Applecare warranty ran out so I filed a claim for a replacement ipad. Apple replaced my ipad 1 with another ipad 1 since the warranty is "like for like".

In the process of doing all this I decided to upgrade to a ipad 3 32 gb refurb unit. Got a great price but in truth for my use the ipad 1 is way plenty of tablet. My wife now plays on the ipad 1 or the grandkids do when they visit.

Yay! I'm so glad the iPad death occurred before the warrantee ran out! And I think you were wise in taking the upgrade: that way in the future you might expand your use of the device. At least you have the power & technology to do so if you desire. Good option to have.
