that video is for an iPod - the iPhone's battery is soldered in. what soccer moms and teenagers are going to whip out the soldering iron, solder and some wick to replace the battery in their cell phone?

the iPhone battery is also $79 (+$5 shipping). i can get a battery for my phone for $5 *shipped* and replace it in about 10 seconds without any tools.

do you honestly think the non-replaceable iPhone battery is a great idea on the part of Apple? we all have brands and products we prefer over others, but don't be silly.
