on the battery

Yes, I'm a vosonic brand. They've been making x's-drive or the x-drive for years, which was primarily a digital wallet device. You can get one of those shells for as little as $50 on ebay and put your own drive in there - fantastic for traveling w/ digital cameras...
Just wanted to add that indeed, you can buy and swap out the battery and it's a pretty easy thing to do (although not all that cheap). Batteries are about $50 and require a screw driver (so it isn't "easily" swappable - sort of like the origina Archose jukebox).
Just goes to show you, every product has it's niche market. These are aimed at digital photography freaks, who wouldn't mind carrying some tunes while on a trip...
