I too, would like to see the AC converter if it didn't add to it's size.
While there are radios around, if a tuner chip of some kind could be worked
into the mother board, it would mean one less item to carry. I believe the
BP. should contain any capability that wouldn't negatively effect it's over
all size or complexity.
