Apple doesn't! Seriously, if they assemble the case with screws like
the 35s and you can toss in a "standard sized" battery with a little
plug, I doubt anyone would complain. Or ask the iPaq guys to use one
of their batteries, and already have the design/production problem
solved.

and they'd have to add charging circuitry
~$1 in quantities of one..

and an AC adapter. I
imagine that would add quite a bit to the cost of the unit.

very low current, and with decent charging circuitry, not even picky.
How much do you pay for a cell phone charger off ebay? It should cost
less than that to make....

So, $10 total, in quantities of 1, excluding the change to the molding
for the case. This seems like a low price to pay to have a product
that stands out in a sea of graphing calculators. Why does an HP 50g
need to look just like a TI-89 (if you take off your glasses)? Why
not make a RAZR (in terms of style and market success) of a
calculator?
