consider a fundamental design flaw of the Ipod)

Belkin and many other manufacturers sell clip-on battery packs for the
iPod range. In fact, you can even buy solar-powered chargers for it:

OK, I guess I need to be somewhat more specific then: the portable
player shall be small and convenient, and IMO this excludes extra
clip-on hardware. Therefore I require the battery _inside_the_player_
to be easily exchangeable.
