Hmm...so that would basically require redesigning the iPod. I see. I see one solution. They could create a new MP3 player. Somewhat like they have Powermacs and iMacs, Powerbooks and iBooks...they could create a Powerpod to accompany the iPod. It would be the same aluminum material is the Albooks and the G5. It would be differently designed internally. It would have more of the squarish sleek design of the Powerbooks rather then the rounded and soft design of the current iPod. Therefore it could have a removable back. It would be reorganized internally for a user-replacable battery. Because unlike the iPod it would also be designed for power, it could be slightly bigger and heavier and contain a 60 GB hard drive. Maybe I'm beginning to dream of concept designs at this point that aren't going to happen. Oh well.
