    Red or Gray? Plus deals that you've found.

    Did you guys go with the red or gray model? I'm looking at getting the red. It seems like there's a price premium for it from some places. Is it a nice color red?

    How's the length of the charging cord?

    Some people were saying in the A500 forum that the cord was only like 3 feet. Is it any better on this one? If not, where can we buy something longer that works with it?
