I went ahead and got the NexxTech light from Circuit City, linked on the first page... it incidentally seems to have been taken off their website already as well.

My initial impressions: In a completely dark room, I don't think the light is bright enough to read comfortably. Maybe my eyes suck too much, but it's not that comfortable...I guess I'm just used to lots of ambient light (from a table lamp or overhead lights). Furthermore, I'm not sure if it's the design or just because it is really cheap, but the earhook annoys the crud out of me. I can't really move my head much without the hook disconnecting (but which can be put together again easily). My main reason in getting this one over any of the others is because I already have rechargeable AAA batteries and I'm too lazy/cheap to deal with yet another type of batteries (the nice round ones).
