  i think software patents mostly come from the US..

  besides, looking at the way Singapore puts corporates way in front of people, this probably won't apply here..

  should be okay...

  Because the original battery about 3 x more expensive so many shops don't carry them.  They only carry the generic brand ones.... oh well... fingers crossed.

  yeah.. i think the brand says a lot..

  but then, i used generic mobile phone batts before and nothing happened.. while someone was killed using an original mobile phone batt which exploded..

  i figure as long as the rating is the same, it's all a crapshoot..
