Default What I want for Christmas
... is a decent clip-on tuner that I can charge like my cellphone.

Does such a thing exist? I'm not a fan of these $5 disc-shaped batteries.

As an aside, I'd also like a delete (to the right) key on my iPhone. These aren't my biggest problems but gosh, they seem pretty solvable.

I don't leave these things to chance. If I want something specific, I buy it for myself.

Don't know about rechargeable, but I've had a Tascam solar powered tuner for several years and its still ticking. Maybe someone still has them or maybe someone has something similar.

I want a "Raskal" electric scooter to go from my couch to the refrigerator. It's so hard to get up after a few beers.

No rule says the refrigerator has to be in the kitchen. Just a thought.

You pay $5 per battery? I buy them in 10 or 20 packs on Amazon for a lot cheaper. More like 50 cents apiece.

Love the idea of a USB charged clip on tuner.

Actually, I have a Fishman Rare Earth pickup that doesn't seem to always disconnect the batteries when unplugged. The result is, I never know if the battery is going to die prematurely at some inappropriate moment (they're a pig to change)

A USB rechargeable pick up would be fantastic. Do these exist?
