Re: [NTLK] OMP / MP100 with backlight

Hi:

Yes, they do use AAA batteries, but...

Factor in no wifi, and a backlight once in a while + something else...

Batteries have increased in capacity significantly over the years. When the Newton came out batteries had much less capacity than they do now. I have rechargeable AAA Sanyo Eneloops in there right now, and the battery has not budged over the past 5 days. I don't think a backlight would be a problem for these things power wise, which is another reason why I am pursuing it.

Thanks,

Ryan

1) I think it maybe possible to put a backlight into an OMP/MP100.

I've never used an OMP/MP100 but weren't there questions over battery life
because they used AAA batteries? If there were, wouldn't a backlight make this
worse?

Cheers
