6. Unit must be sent in to Apple to replace battery
I wanna be able to change my batteries without having my hand held (ouch; unintended pun). Shame on Apple for this one, though.
I changed my iPod's battery in a matter of 15 minutes without paying a dime to Apple. I'm sure the same battery folks will be all over this market.
This doesn't excuse not making the battery removable however, just an FYI.
It sounds like there are enough things missing for third-party apps to be a necessity. Too bad they're verboten.
In all I've read about this issue, do we know this for certain or is this based on them just not explicitly saying that they will be opening it for development? That's a genuine question, no type of slam...
I don't recall seeing it stated that they will never allow 3rd party development. Seems strange if it's running some flavor of OSX which already has thousands of "widgets". I would think that they're limiting it now to get the OS bugs worked out and that 3rd party will come later (and I'm not saying that's acceptable, but at least allows for quick and easier fixes for rev. 1).
