Although recent discussion/discovery that IPods will
exhaust their batteries in approximately one to two
years do clearly raise the question? "Designed to fail?".
Doesnt explain stuff like cordless phones that use
standard batterys.
What explains the electric toothbrushes that don't
have replaceable batteries?
Its harder to design something as compact as that
with standard replaceable batterys.
What's smaller and more compact than present-day cell phones?
ipods too.
You have to toss a $60-$120 device just because a $5
battery has failed.
Indeed.
