They said something like "if you need to change it, we have a program", which is cryptic. I suspect it may cost a bit, but really I'm sure the battery with such new tech will be expensive anyway. I'm sure we'll see something on Engadget or Gizmodo soon about pricing. If the labor is expensive and it's outside of the AppleCare warranty, I'm sure changing it yourself would become a better option.

Believe it or not I agree. I bought myself a 22" widescreen lcd that has a matte finish and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to have glossy. BTW, Mac minis are awesome. Mine works nearly as fast as a new iMac. Once I'm done fiddling with it (upgrading the hard drive and disc burner), I'm sure it will be fine for the next 3-4 years.
