Are apple going to end up having visible screws on their ipodsThats great news as far as im concerned as batterys failing to retain charge is a common problem with ipods, still they will probably charge 4 x the price to make up for it!
Nearly everyone I know has had an ipod fail with battery problems within a year. Apple are stupid enough to not have replacement batteries and charge extra for it, and consumers are willing to pay extra for it. The good news however is that most of the people who have a problem vow to never buy an Apple product again...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Creatives recent players are also guilty of this and it narks me off immensely.

This has to be good news for consumers, unless Apple use this as an excuse to further hike prices in EU countries relative to the US. It never made sense to me having to replace the whole piece of hardware when the only faulty bit is the battery.
About time - laptops and mp3 players should get this by default!
