Removable batteries are nice to have and I haven't seen a good reason for Apple not to design their products to allow them yet.
I think replaceable batteries would be great. I have nothing against them. There are many times I could have used one.

I just find it hard to believe that after 5+ years of iPhones and another 5 of iPods (all without replaceable batteries) that it's still a sticking point for people. They're not going to do it so why argue that point?

Sadly, because it's Apple, I think they would also cost 4x's as much as other company's replaceable batteries.
