I'd like to see a third party product that will clip on the same way, and have the same form factor, but perhaps hold a few AA's? __________________ Ocell.Blog: Organisms Meet Machinery Ocell.Photo

dkosak I want a Sony SDR Robot! Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Boston Posts: 116	I look at the bigger picture... The thousand bucks I blew on my UX50 + Memory Stick + Battery, etc goes to support hundreds of Sony engineers in Japan -- who eat thousands of cups of instant ramen each year at their desks for lunch -- which supports thousands of instant noodle factory workers who -- bored with making noodles, go home each evening and buy ANIME -- which spawns the creation of hundreds of new Anime series each year which eventually end up in the US. This allows me to visit SunCoast or AnimeNation and pick up new Anime each month which improves the quality of my life. It's a kind of "Geek Food Chain". DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN!!! - Don

I see a cool, sort of odd logic here (please Don't forget the many IT workers worldwide that do the ramen thing at all hours of the day & nite) oh, and yes Sony does make products that ROCK, they just cost a little more..........

I thought there was an offer of one at a discount when you register the UX50?

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	If you register I think you get 25% off of accessories. So you would save 30 on the battery.
