here's my idea for the config of the N3. 4 removable NiMH batteries on the sides of the unit, placed towards the back of the unit so the back of the unit will be slightly concave.
I like this for a couple reasons, the cylindrical batteries are cheap and readily available anywhere and they are standard so your GPS, etc will also use them. I also like the concave back because it fits your body. Your waist, your arm, your leg are all round so a concave shape fits them if you strap it on your arm, your belt, or put it in your pocket, it will fit.

The N3 Batteries.
I would go about arguing that one of the major areas of technology that currently are having enormous advances, are, of course, our hated friends, the batteries.
If you go about using NiMH in the Neuros3, you will immediately discard the utilisation of the advantages brought by "next-generation" batteries, the Li-Ions. It's true, they do tend to have a smaller life-span than NImH but in my experience, they are far better at:
* Taking heavy power draw from a hard drive, remember motors like to play with V = I/R and P = I(squared)R a lot because of the fact that they always carry the "reversed" voltage (given by Vin = VI + Vout)
* They can hold far more energy per volume-unit.
* They do not discharge as readily.
* They do not have "Severe" power fluctautions, which some crappy NiMH tend to heve..
*
As long as the housing
As long as the housing containing the batts (y'know - the part that makes contact with the surface of my desk when I set it there) is rubberized to prevent slipping. I had to glue 4 rubber feet to my N1 to keep it from sliding all over my desk just due to movement of the headphone cord.
