Apple offers the AppleCare extended warranty as well, which will cover battery replacement during the warranty period, in addition to covering phone support, other repairs (that aren't due to abuse), etc. I think this runs $99 for iPods presently. Not sure if the iPhone AppleCare will be the same price.
I probably wouldn't opt for it, but it might make sense for some. It's another option anyway.
