Yes but technology marches on. With the extended battery my JVC (which
even with said battery isn't much bigger than the Eee) runs for close to
six hours and that's a laptop with an standard IDE HD. While eight hours
would be nice a solid six is probably acceptable, much less and I can't
use it for a day without finding somewhere to recharge.

That's probably true, personally I still lament Psion's decision to pull
out of the handheld market.

I agree the N810 looks interesting, but all I've seen so far is pretty
marketing blurb and re-hashes of the Nokia press release, no real details,
no definite price and no hard release date.

Maybe I'll take a closer look early next year.
