Whats the battery life like after you'd had it a while? just on wifi, web browsing around?

I usually get two or three days of use before I have to recharge. Usually it's down to about 45 to 50 per cent. I could probably go for another day or two if I wanted to take it down that far. I try to run things like this down to almost nothing every 6 months or so. Just to avoid any memory issues even though li-poly batteries aren't supposed to develop a memory.

Recharging typically takes 2 or 3 hours.

Usage has been mostly afternoon and evening probably about 2 or 3 hours per day. I've really been quite pleased with the battery life!

Tom (... charged up!)

Looking like I'll grab one in Orlando (assuming the ash cloud allows us to fly by then!)

One thing I forgot to mention.

Those figures are with Wi-Fi on and Bluetooth off. Also, the Wi-Fi radio in it doesn't have to work too terribly hard since usually here in the house, I'm within about 15 to 20 feet of a WAP.

Tom (... I still think it's pretty good!)
