Hello all, I didn't buy the slim adapter in January, the need I saw coming didn't arrive and I decided to save and keep using what I had. Stumbled on this today, there's a "new & improved" (among other things, he says you don't need the brick if you're using a DC source). Still U$111 and change from amazon.com, I didn't shop around elsewhere yet.
