Ok It has bugged me enough what’s the deal with you and AA/AAA batteries? Work for Energizer? I have a cache of about 20 rechargables for cameras and mice ans keyboards… but I dont want to have to cary them around. Why are you so in to them? I’m Curious, becasue maybe you know something I dont.
One thing I know is the natural place to use a battery operated portable player is away from computers and AC outlets. On the other hand, mice and keyboards you usually use right near a computer, so mine plug in and are powered by the computer.
As has been pointed out before, removable NiMH cells can be charged in as little as 15 minutes, usually 4 at a time. Internal lithiums take at least a couple of hours, with no option to swap a charged one.
I really wonder what is so different about the player and camera markets. I’d guess that more than half the cameras Canon or Nikon sell run on AA’s, and most/all of the rest have Lithium batteries that are at least swappable.
