Actually, I think this is so people with a K1 that has a battery that needs replacing will get so sick and tired of waiting for a new battery from Amazon that they might just get a K2 instead.

If you want a K1 battery, get it from BatteryShip. They say they will ship on March 31, 2009.

We now know that the backorder for the K1 was so Amazon could stop making new K1s and sell the K2 instead. So why would the K1 battery be anything more then a way to sell more K2?
