Hi Ester, I'll be surprised and perhaps a little disappointed if there's no way at all of accessing battery status. My bet is that if it announces charging and charged, it'll give out announcements at certain points like "battery level 50%" as the battery wears down. Could you keep an ear out for that and report back if it's the case? It's not quite as cool as being able to check it at will, but the battery life on iPods is so good nowadays that to me it's no big deal if this is how Apple have worked it, announcements downward from 50% would give you a couple of reasonable length journeys probably and enough time to remember to whack it on charge for a bit. Unless of course you make hideously long journeys and aren't sure whether you need to charge before you depart, but in that case the power monkey is your friend I guess hehe.
Anyway, let us know if you hear any battery level indication. Here's hoping...
