Dunno about the Inkia mid, but the Viliv X70 (also with Atom) boasts more than 5 hours of video or 6 days stand-by. It probably has a bigger battery, but still, equating Atom to poor battery life is not necessarily correct...

I'd be more concerned about the lack of both video-out and keyboard. A device meant for viewing content needs the former while one meant for communication needs the latter, IMO.

Edit: Well, to answer my own objection, here's a very concise and logical article explaining why Atom is NOT a good idea:

...so I guess meizirkki was right after all...
