When will the spare battery and USB-to-Ethernet adapter be in stock?

Both the spare battery and the USB-to-Ethernet adapter are critical accessories for traveling with the eDGe.

I need the spare battery, since I often need to work on very long flights with no access to AC. Since the eDGe battery is swappable (and pretty light!) having a spare is a no-brainer for me.
Unfortunately it's always out of stock. I know there were some manufacturer issues with the battery, but is there a new estimate (official or not) of when these might finally be in stock?

Also, the USB-to-Ethernet adapter is essential where no Wi-Fi is available but Ethernet is, which describes a surprisingly large number of hotels around the world. Is there an estimate for when that adapter might be in stock?

Alternatively, if there are third-party USB-to-Ethernet adapters that work with the eDGe, I would love to know. I bought one on Amazon out of desperation, but it didnt work.

For now (and until there's a working Citrix client) I'm stuck with carrying both my laptop and my eDGe on trips. In the future, I'd love to leave the laptop at home and just carry the eDGe.
