There's a note on Apple's website saying that the new Shuffle's rechargeable lith ion battery is NOT replaceable. Was this the case with the 1 gen Shuffle batteries?
I'm sure third party providers will find a way to crack the case and change out the battery the way they did for the 1 gen Shuffle, but I'm surprised Apple didn't make battery replacement an (expensive) option through them. This indicates how tough it must be to open the new Shuffle's case without ruining the unit.
Gee, do they suppose most people will just throw away the Shuffle and buy a new one after the battery wears out in a year or two?
