I have been wanting to get a hard drive based MP3 player for sometime and have narrowed my search down to either an Ipod or a Zen but struggle with the idea that the batteries for both of these units are not replacable after their lives have expired in a few years. It seems insane to me that after investing that kind of money and effort to create a substancial portable music library, that after a few years the player is no longer capable of portable operation.
Can someone confirm the truth to what I have read that the batteries of both Ipod and Zen are not replacable?
If this is really the case, shame on the manufacturers, Apple and Creative, that have by design created a plan like this to generate more revenues. It seems like this could only be planned, as creating a design where the batteries are replacable is not rocket science.
Does anyone know of any quality hard drive based units that have replacable batteries?
