$100 to replace a battery is outfrigginrageous. I'll admit, it's alot more affordable than Apple's previous scam of $100, but think for a minute...

How could an industry leader in Design overlook something as basic as replacing batteries? There's no reason the iPod shouldn't have a pop off back cover with a user replaceable battery. Or hell, a set of 6 (or however many) AA batteries even. At the very worst, a custom battery brick you could buy at Fry's or something for $30 or less.

And they're on the 3rd generation of iPods and STILL haven't gotten it right. For a $500 walkman, I'd expect something like user replaceable batteries.
