i have some on order and when they arrive, i'll take a look before i ship
them offto the new owner.. :-)
X30's and the long life battery..
BUT, you know...
thinking about this one its like hindsight is 20/20..
everything that is needed is there (maybe even someplace to latch the thing
to the bottom) so why not have this backward compatible..
<------------------------------->
Cordially, :-)
