Mine died in less than a year, and far less than 150 charges.
They gave me a new one at the Apple Store. :)
Generally, yes.

They don't "die", per se. After a set number of charges, the battery stops being more efficient. It can no longer charge to its full capacity and will die sooner than... what's the battery life now, 24 hours? You'll gradually see it lasting 23 hours, 22 hours, etc.
Cell phones are the same way. Eventually, they won't hold a charge and you get a new one. iPod batteries last quite a bit longer, at least in my experience. I've had my iPod mini for almost two years now, and the battery still lasts 8-10 hours, easy. And I use it constantly.
Most likely, you won't even notice it's dying at all, since most people charge their iPods everytime they add music. You'll probably get a new iPod (whether it be from replacing the evetually obsolete nano, having it run over by a car, dropped in a pool, or crushed) long before a short battery life becomes an issue :)
