Listening to the umptieth yoof pedal by with crap music blaring from their mobe, I wonder if increasing the sound quality and the volume at the same time would change my annoyance level any.

Probably not. However, it does look like you could give it a good swing either into the middle distance or the offending twits' head, so there is that to be said for it...

I don't care about how well it lands, just how far I can lob it when some inconsiderate idiot beside me decides the world should share in their choice of music.

Forgive me if I've missed it, but there was no mention of battery life from the internal battery? I'd maybe consider this if it was a bit more than f*ck all..
