Hi, I think it's a good idea to use standard AA batteries or accumulators. They are easy to find anywhere, and they're cheap. There has been a steady increase of capacity over time of the AA Ni-MH accumulators, with capacities that I see in stores today of 2700 mAh (1.2V), and it's likely that the capacity of the standard accumulators will continue to increase over time. Perhaps everybody already has at home a few AA accumulators and a few AA chargers.
I would be curios if somebody on this list could do a comparison WRT energy capacity and energy density between a pair of 1.2V, 2700mAh AA accumulators and the "1200 mAh battery" that is mentioned in Neo's spec. Good luck, and I look forward to develop applications for the open phone. Mihai Preda ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
