The batteries may be consumable, but at 100 pounds per battery (around 170 dollars) , that's a hefty price for your Lithium Ion battery. The battery life coupled with expense of an Apple priced accessory every year is a "con" for me (in all senses of the word). :) -- Tarik Bilgin Opalblue tarik at opalblue.com
