Default SPOT Versus ELT Analysis (Long)

Has anyone heard of any prospect of an improved SPOT coming out.

My biggest hang up is I don't like replacing batteries and I would
want to use it in tracking mode. It would be Ideal if it had an
external Power option. I am sure I could jury rig something but it
would be nicer to have the external power for normal operation and
still have the batteries for emergency operation.

An external antenna option might be nice as well.

A display of your current postion might be of use as well but of
lesser concern to me.
