Easy choice: SZ270. $600 for an extra Gig of ram when you move to the 280?! WTF?!

Hunt around for the fine print on the non-replaceable battery in the foot pod. The way it sounds, you'd have to shell out $29 every time the battery dies. No thanks. Cool that it's tied to the Nano and also not cool. One more thing...

That's certainly strange. I've never seen a post, until this one, even hinting at the possibility of a hot trackpad on the 8204. Heck, that's the reason I returned a 5672 and went for the 8204. If you do the AS5, please report back on...

A lithium ion battery does not retain memory, unlike nickel cadmium, but the circuitry does somewhat learn the voltages and sometimes needs to be "reset". Basically, what S_NINJA has described will reset the circuitry. Drain...
