I'm very much looking forward to putting together a circuit again... albeit a very simple one.

The kit is only $20 (plus the cost of the altoids gum tin). They say it doubles the lifespan of an iPod video, so it should give me at least several hours of extra use per 2xAA. I have a ton of rechargeable AA's lying around, so I should be set for camping.

Of course I'll post pics of the process when I get it. Unless I seriously mess it up in which case... um... nevermind

Gosh, I *so* wish I'd seen this post sooner. Yesterday was my son's 15th birthday and it would have been the perfect present. Guess now he'll have to wait until Christmas. Still, he's going to be really excited.. great find, Dave!
