Andy,
Tell me you just did the basic programming and put the Pronto down, right? No friends to see....no visitors to see....Only teasing.
Based on the rating of the batteries in the dock (1200mah) as compared to std AA duracells or similar at about 1/2 that, I would have expected the dock batteries to last at least twice as long on a charge. I also would expect a quick charge to take probably 4-6 hours....same technology as cell phones. The NiMH batteries also have alower internal impedance than alkalines so this also helps the situation. When I have a dock long enough to test it, I'll let you know! Docks are currently in very very short supply. Perhaps given the choice between building docks vs Prontos, Philips has taken the high road. Don;t know exactly but it's my best guess.
