ViA II question

I'm pondering buying ViA 2, since it seems that building a comparable
wearable would be almost just as expensive. But ViA has absolutely
outrageous prices regarding accessories ($140-$160 for battery, 220$ for
charger, etc). 

So here come questions to those owners of ViA II:
1) what kind of battery does it use, and is it orderable from anyone but
via? If not, what kind of connector does it use and what kind of voltage?
Is there anything special about that battery to justify that price?

2) What kind of HDD does it use? is it normal 2.5" HDD?

3) What kind of DRAM does it use? is it soldered or is it normal
SIMM/DIMM?

4) What kind of interface to LCD does it have? Can I use some other LCD
display with it?

Thanks in advance to everyone.
