I'm opposed to products with user replaceable batteries because of all the imbeciles who toss the old battery in the trash instead of properly disposing of it. At least, we can be fairly certain that if Apple replaces your iPod battery, they aren't tossing the old one in the trash.

I've had both types of devices. Having replacable batteries sounds good as long as you use a device. But once the lifecycle runs out, it sometimes is hard to get replacement parts or accesories. If you like getting into gadgets, proprietary stuff is sometimes easier to get as newer devices probably us the same or a similar part, while user replacable stuff normally comes in specific housing, contacts and stuff. Just my 2 cents
