That's a good point on the battery side of things, I'd happily have a phone or mp3 player about 3-4mm thicker with the iriver 100/300 (or iPod 1/2G) battery in it, the extra battery time over the thinner style of battery just seems like a no brainer - to me anyway. I was thinking this when the 1G nano was released, it was so small that the battery life sucked arse. I'd have happily bought one if it was twice as thick, with the "other" half being taken up by battery. Anyone else agree here?


Edit - Actually, something I'd forgotten about, I aquired a 40gb iPod with a knackered hard drive, and was looking into fitting a single platter HDD to it, along with wiring up a 2200mAh battery to it to fill the gap, would have had a half decent battery life then!
