Why do people care about watching video/listening to music on a phone? I want a phone to work when needed - as a phone. If I want a media player then I will carry one as well.
As has been pointed out, cellphone batteries need changing a lot less than people think. Given that most people upgrade every 12-24 months then it is rare that the battery will ever give out. Also, why would the fact that the 1st gen iPod had a dud battery be of any significance? Particularly when they have produced a further 4 generations without the same problem...
Incidentally, I won't be buying one. Too expensive and I'm not a beta tester.
