In this instance, the charger is cheaper than the energizer competitor, and comes with two more batteries.

A AA battery exploded in your hand and permanently damaged your hearing? I don't mean to be a dick, if that really happened it REALLY sucks and I would have sued the $#!+ out of the company, but I do find it hard to believe.

(P.S. Grammar Nazis, "AA" is pronounced "double-A" and thus "a", not "an", is the proper article.)]]>Aug 12th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/Aug 12th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/Aug 12th 2010 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/Aug 12th 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/apples-rechargeable-aa-batteries-are-rebranded-sanyo-eneloops/

They don't read the post.When it comes to hardware Apple just re-brand and repackage standard parts. Even the A4 which they claim to have designed is basically a repackaged Samsung Hummingbird.

Gone are the days of the G4 etc.I think the only original piece of Apple hardware left is their marketing machine.]]>Aug 12th 2010 6:03AM
