If someone has that knowledge then they would have the tools to remove the screws. However, again, the point is to keep people like you who do not have the knowledge from attempting to replace batteries and the like, but ends up breaking the device. You know your limitations, but some do not. Btw, this is pretty old news actually. Although I am not a lawyer, I'm pretty certain that some of these devices are covered by patents and the like that would disallow modifications or reverse engineering of the hardware. Jail breaking might be ok, but modifying the hardware would not. Scott
