My ipod mini shows full battery life...but it keeps saying that its dead.

hey I just took my ipod off its charger, I have an ihome...and it was on it all night and most of the day charging. I went to turn it on and it showed that it had full battery and then I started playing a playlist and on the first song it played it stopped the song and said that it didnt have any battery life left. then just now I turned it back on it looked like it had almost no battery life. then after a song had played a lil bit it goes back to full battery. Then later after its been played for about maybe a half an hour if that it dies again for good. untill I charge it back up and start the whole thing over again. now I know these things last longer then a half an hour, am I right? its also like 2 years old.
please! some one help me or tell me what I should do because Im about ready to trash the thing and buy a new ipod! and its past warrenty.

you can replace your battery for like 30 bucks. There are instructions on the web and quite a few websites that sell replacement batteries. Check the web for an hour or two. Don't spend another 250 when you can have it back ready to rock for a lot less. Apple just wants your 250, don't give it to them. It's highway robbery, look at cell phones, they need replacement batteries every 2 years or so. And $30 for a replacement li-ion battery is a total steal these days...
