    I'd like to know how the full charge decreases in length of playtime over number of charges total.

    How in the world is "5 hours of battery life" a good amount of juice for a portable?

    It's a portable game device. Poeple will sit down and play it for 2, 3 hours at a time. They'll play it on the comode. They'll take it on trips (planes, car) which will last all day.

    In my mind, trips is the main reason to have such a device in the first place. If I can't play the device for the entire trip (or even half of a 16-hour trip), what in the world is the point of having it?

    The battery is rechargeable, not replaceable. I can't very easily pop it out and put a replacement in, as I can with a Gameboy. Never mind that a gameboy will run for weeks on dead batteries.
