So some of us don't want to spend extra money for features that we don't even need.

But the Vox's battery is very accessible (right next to the reset button under the removable back cover,
) so I would imagine that it will eventually be possible to change the battery when it's needed....China will make a compatible model eventually if it's not already done so I think it is more the new software developments vs hardware limitations that will cause it to be replaced by its owners rather than the life of the battery...
