some PDAs just started coming with replacable batteries also. This particular strategy is nothing new when it comes to repeat customers.

A replaceable battery in something that see's daily use and costs a few hundred dollars is cheap insurance. You'd have to be Apple not to realize that :D

Well, isn't it right to design a product that will fail after 1 year's warranty? Just throw away the dead one, rich ppl does not care that money.

You guys posing buy a replacement off the web cracks me up...you have to read the whole story and realize that when this film was done that wasn't really an option, and as they said they tried it and the replacement didn't work....it wasn't until after a class action lawsuit was filed that apple decided to offer replacement plans and work on a better solution much like MS is doing now with their Xbox CD/DVD Drive....
