Although recent discussion/discovery that IPods will
exhaust their batteries in approximately one to two

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, USB keys, ear buds, etc etc etc.
ipods too.
You have to toss a $60-$120 device just because a $5 battery has failed.
Indeed.
