My only quibble with Lipos is that most of the time they are sealed up in a device so they cannot be easily replaced. If they are conveniently replaceable then I have no problem with them.

Not very profitable at all. People will only have to buy one device for all their needs. If you put differant specs in 3 differant devices then they will buy 3.
If they produce a mod with functioning tc and a reasonable size (even the sx mini is huge for my taste) then I would give it a try.
since there is all of this Lipo talk on here, can somebody either A) Show me a place as to where i can learn more about them, without having to read a 500 page book about them or B) Give me a crash course in them.
i have been wanting to tinker with them, but so far al of the lipos i have ever seen(all be it very few) have always been less than 200mAh, or the size of my fist, which is not something comfy to carry around with me.
and the other thing i had head is that charging them vs. the imr's we use now is extremely more dangerous, since they can become overcharged EXTREMELY easily....

You need a good balanced charger for multi cell lipos. That can be found on hobby lobby, or at any rc car shop.
This is a good site for battery info....
Basic to Advanced Battery Information from Battery University
Another source is rc hobbyist sites, they have been using them for some time.
I can't suggest a single site that will educate you on LiPo's, as I didn't learn what I know about them from a single site. What I can tell you is that they generally maintain their mAh at higher C's than 18650 IMR batteries do. So, like, a 2500 mAh Samsung 25R isn't going to give you anywhere close to 2500mAh if you're discharging at 20A; those figures are usually done at a continuous rate of 1 to 2 amps, if not less. So, a LiPo discharging at 20 amps will maintain its nominal mAh capacity better than any IMR/INR/ICR battery. They do require separate chargers, but you can buy them online just like you can buy 18650 chargers. 3S LiPo's are 3 cells in Series, just like 3 stacked 18650's. If you want more info about size and capacity and all that (it can all vary greatly depending on each individual LiPo) I would suggest checking out the Turnigy Nano-tech's on Hobbyking.com. You can select if you want a 1s (like what you'd use for any 4.2v confiiguration) or a 3s (like what the DNA 200D apparently needs) and you can check out the differing levels of mAh, C, height/width and all that. As this thread has already derailed more than most of us would like and I'm sure I'm partly to blame, I will leave my LiPo info at that.
I hate no info on products. I hope they post all its specs and features soon because I feel I'm about to be $230 poorer when they do.
Pre orders shipping in 7 to 10 days! The DNA200 is going to be here real soon.
1 watt to 200 watts is 1 watt to 200 watts thats interesting holy cow..
I think someone said .08 thats 50amps of hardcore power
wowza

So far after reading through this rather "colourful" thread don't think I'll be losing sleep with my Snow Wolf 200 because of possible adaptions of this tech by the Big Three.
Only looking a mod to vape with, the tech stuff isn't for me.
Same thing with 2380, checked Todd's review and all I said was "Nope".
Nothing wrong with tech stuff, mind you.

Assuming it exist somewhere else, it doesn't in this size, ability, and display form, ya 200 watts wowza oh yeahReally? That's all you see? 200w???
Looking at it from wanting to build my own high power regulator with screen and some kind of brain ya.
I guess i am the only one excited about new technology.
I watch every review I can etc. its a hobby and this is exciting..
