  1. Battery Life by SomeOtherGuy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Any word on the battery life for this? I know that 802.11B sucks the batteries right out of most handheld devices. I am testing an "industrial" Symbol device (PocketPC) here at work -- and am hard pressed to surf around for more than about 45 minutes on a full charge.

    Based on the size of this thing, it may have an additional battery on board. A few quick glances of the website did not make it appear that way.
