Christine, I will give you an example of why I would want to listen to the stone when it is being charged. Yesterday I was listening to the Monty Python film The Life Of Brian which I have on it. The battery ran out at about a third of the way into the film and I wanted to carry on listening to it. A mains charger would mean I could have plugged in and carried on with the film from where it left off and the player would be charging at the same time. As it was I had to connect the stone to the PC to charge and had to find something else to do for an hour or more until I could use it. Hth, Mark Threadgold The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine Weetman" <goatmum@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 12:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Zen Stone mains charger >I don't know Why Anyone should Have to listen to the Zen whilst its > chargeing, it only takes 2 hours and I can easily clock that up whilst my > computers on and I'm busy doing other things, surely a mains charger > defeats > the object of it being so small and compact?
