Hello,
I cannot ever recall saying that the unit needed to be smaller, and I for
one will stay with a unit that uses off the shelf batteries for as long as
it is supported.

The battery thing seems to be the biggest hang-up for people. What interests
me is that a lot of the people who are very concerned about the batteries
are the same people who wanted the unit to be as small as it possibly could
be. Unfortunately, to those people, you can't have it both ways. If you make
the unit too small to hold standard batteries, one of the side effects of
this reduction in size is, oddly, that it can't hold standard batteries.
