I like very much your solution! (I think it's also more environment friendly)
can we have a similar super-cap on the upcoming gta04?

btw, "dead battery overnight" could be enough energy for the rtc... can you test how long you keep the correct time removing the main battery?
because we must do that to change the sim or uSD... and I'd like to know how fast... ;)
