I was thinking about the charging cut off issue. Assuming you start with an unplugged TP, do we think it gets hot enough to stop charging, without even being plugged in? Or is it the charging that adds the extra heat to stop the charging. If it is the later, then figuring out the power load and using a charger with just slightly more than that power requirement might result in the coolest operation. For example, perhaps charging off the 500mA USB will actually keep the battery cool enough to keep charging. Even if 500mA is not enough to charge the phone while using it, that is a huge improvement over discharging. Just a theory. It is entirely possible that the amount of juice used by the phone when it is running hot is more than 500mA and there's just no way to put that much power back into the battery without it heating up. And it might "trip" without being plugged in at all, which would REALLY suck.
