It would be really cool if they would use standard cells rather than LiPo packs. You can detect the number of cells simply by measuring off the voltage and balanced charging isn't so hard to implement. There are tonnes of controllers that exist exactly for balanced charging. Then just throw it through a DC drop down and you have steady 5V sorted.
That way they could release the devices purposely with fewer cells included and an upgrade option could be to throw in some more.
Also my experience has always been the cells have been more reliable than LiPo packs (they don't tend to let go so easily). Li-ions for examples are pretty power dense and offer a good number of charge cycles.
