replacement for iPod

[geoffrey mendelson]

The battery died in my iPod. It's old enough to have a hard drive so it 
does not do anything except play music.

If I can find the spare I have, I'll probably replace the battery, but 
before I spend any money on it, is there anything that can replace it 
and be more reasonably priced than a new iPod Touch?

Is there something equivalent to it that runs Android and hopefully is a 
lot cheaper. I can get an LG smartphone that runs Android 4.1 for 700 
NIS, I'd rather something that is cheaper and not a phone.

I also do not need Bluetooth, but the ability to connect a headset to it 
and run SKYPE and or a SIP/IAX client would be a plus.

I don't want a small tablet, I already have a tablet and it's not all 
that useful to me. I really want something to play music and thought it 
might be better to aim a little higher.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice. If you think it is a bad 
idea, feel free to tell me so.

Geoff.
