    be really cool, is if some one hacks Nomad Zen/ iPod so that they can use 3rd party rechargable batteries once the inbuild ones expire.
    As I understand the current models can't be replaced once the battery expires in 2-3 years.
    And when I spend > 400$ for anything I expect them to last for quite some time.

    Hardly a hack is it?

    Open device.
    Change drive.
    Close device.
    Reload software.

    Wow! And they still bust the screen..
