<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>David,<BR><BR>There is presently no =
scheduled new
design for longer battery life or<BR>reduction in size and weight. =
Because of
the substantial processing<BR>capability(e.g. 8 partials at once), a =
substantial
amount of power is<BR>needed, and the 12-hour battery is fairly large =
and heavy.
Of course as new technology becomes available, there will be some sort =
of
redesign which will reduce size and weight, but I don't envision that =
for quite
some time.<BR><BR>As for "display refinements", if you mean how the =
tuning
displays work, such as the spinner, and pitch raises, etc., these =
updates are
happening on a regular basis. We publish firmware updates several times =
a year.
These are free and available to all customers.<BR><BR>Let me know if you =
have
any other questions.<BR><BR>Dave Carpenter<BR>Veritune,
