From: John Stevenson <steveo1967_at_yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 16:45:16 +0100 (BST) I am interested but have a couple of questions for you. 1) How will we know the time it will switch off, I would intend to leave mine running overnight, since I use it on the train during the day (a two hours each way commute). I do not suppose you want us to sit and wait (the phrase a watched pan never boils springs to mind.) (Maybe add a setting that can time the number of hours unit is on, against battery capacity) 2) I have two sets of batteries running in my JBR20, the orginal set (1500) and a 1700 set. Which I swop and change using a fast charger - will this make a difference? Or would you want test results for both sets? 3) Will it be flash compatible, or will be need to ROLO to use it and will that effect the results? 4) Your testing would not be 'real life' based, people do not use their player in that way. Might be best to time over normal usage - more people could take part then. The normal stuff such as switching on, off, (which uses more battery power) creating queues and just playing with it, that way you will get a more realistic set of metrics. regards John ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
