My thoughts exactly. It's like buying a gas-guzzling SUV--the guys that buy Hummers are the ones that can afford to put the gas in the Hummer. As for the battery replacement issue, most every article I read on the iPhone prior to its launch mentioned speculation of precisely how Apple would address the battery replacement issue, and most of them assumed it would be similar to the iPod battery replacement strategy--wow, they were right. Not really a big surprise. And I'm sure, as Cyn suggested, the market will adjust to meet consumer's needs--sure, there aren't third-party people out there yet replacing iPhone batteries, but give it a year and there will be.
