FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update

[steve]

Charger is on the list of goodies. So, yes there will be a charger in the
box.

Going forward, I think we as a community need to discuss these issues.

1. Do I supply a standard charger that follows the USB Spec. for example, A
charger that you could buy anywhere.

2. Do I Supply a CLOSED charger that only my phone can recognize? 

For me. custom is closed. Our high current charger is custom.its closed.  

This decision is mirrored in the battery decision.

So, I have one group of people asking be to supply them with expensive
custom parts
And another group of people asking for accessories they can buy from
anybody.

let me know what you think. My inclination is Open accessories.

There won't be a charger in the standard box? And I thought there was a
custom charger allowing the Freerunner to charge at a high current?
