    There is no excuse for producing throw away players that cost several hundred dollars.

    Using proprietary battery sizes that aren't interchangable, or in this case, are not even user servicable, sounds like a scam to me for someone looking to make a quick buck.

    technically not too hard.

    I think they did this for the Standard Apple Reason: because they felt like it, and because they wanted a closed market for repair parts (which is what apple has been about since its earliest days).

    why mod parent troll? He is right....isn't what apple is doing the same as what Lexmark is doing (without the DMCA of course)? And $99 service plan to replace a battary doesn't seem right to me.

    pansy-ass whiners. Same with the Powerbook G3 owners that whined about X running slow until they got partial refunds.

    Do some research, buy what you want, and know that you can get battery replacements from 3rd party houses. Enough raping of Apple.
