>That's at least 4 hours of true battery live unlike others that advertise more while the unit sits there doing little. The two guys who have the prototypes claim 5+ depending on what they're doing with it. From what I understand, the iPad has higher life because it isn't doing as much (i.e., multitasking). I expect to see that 10hours drop when Apple adds multitasking.
Comparison against netbooks with nearly the same HW basis worries me: either the touchscreen sucks up energy or the OS / Exo front is rather hungry [and yes, it is prototype stage...] Atom netbooks with 10' get 8-10H, some 11' HDMI sporting nVidia plus HDMI 6-9H [possibly WiFi disabled, but not sure]. Another plus for LAN sockets...
