Something odd is going on at Gomadic. Over on one of the BN forums there's a discussion about a Gomadic external battery. Seems Gomadic doesn't have them in stock but buy.com does. According to one poster, a call to Gomadic to ask about ordering this device provoked an angry response from the rep saying it was only a prototype and demanding to know where the caller saw the device! But buy.com is selling them and Gomadic doesn't know this?

FWIW, I personally would be cautious in dealing with Gomadic. YMMV, of course.
