Sealed battery? Who cares. I can go to Bestbuy or Apple and have the battery replaced for $49 to $69. While the effort varies from iPhone to iPhone, replacing the battery yourself may not be very difficult. On one of my iPhones it was actually trivial to do; 10 minute job.

Apple immediately redesigned the IPod to disable the video output, thus rendering the third party product unusable.
