very interested in the charge duration. I'm overjoied with the new manual XL uberbatteries, they just keep going and going..omg yay.
short seems like a step in the wrong direction except that some people will enjoy a smaller device..it almost has to come at the cost of duration. I'll know more when i see it i suppose, but since the XL uberbattery, I find it hard to bring myself to use standard size. Some people have to prefer a smaller device though, and for those people this is a win.
I myself will not go smaller, I love the XL. The standards are a good size for me too and if you have the PCC, the shorter charge time is not a problem when you are on the go. But I know some people do want something roughly the same size as a cig, and the PCC will keep them in charged batts on the go, so these will be great for those people.
As usual - Steve is giving the people what they want!
