either way in my experiance while they are better than dry cells
rechargble AA's just don't beform well at sub zero temps. ipod don't
seem to suffer as badly.
apple arn't allown in chosing built in or at least non AAA/AA/C etc type
batteries for their eletrical kit. most high power devices use a
propatry battery or at least not AAA/AA or such.
there are advantages either way. for high end cameras having the ablity
to run on batterys bought in a courner shop can be useful.
but built in batters mean the case is more weather and more robust, less
holes.. and can be made smaller.
