    pretty cool innards.

    Even though there are two speaker areas (front and back), there is only one speaker (so we have mono sound).

    The buttons are pretty standard, AND I hope an adafruit 2.+" screen will fit the menu buttons.

    The screens are really interesting, as the glass I think conducts the current and decided which images to pop up? Pretty neat.

    Other than the rubber buttons and the speaker, I'm not going to keep anything of the insides.

    Hope you enjoy the pics.

    I wanted to keep the original battery tray, but have a lot more rechargeable power going through it.

    I'll get this battery:

    Split open the package, bend it until the two are end-to-end, and slice a hole in the middle battery tray for the red/black cord.
