Battery life is only about 4 hours but i always have AAs on charge so I don't mind swapping them out.
Especially at this price.
Also, it could be interesting if you can swap out one battery at a time and keep the device running ..

But the Spec sheet I linked to is for the edubook notebook, sorry for my mistake by being overly hasty to share the news.
I have edited my post to remove the Spec sheet link so as to spare new readers the pain of working out what was meant.

OMG.... I think I'm in love. I was just stating over on the pocketables site that I wish the SmartQ/SmartV came in a 9" or 10" tablet ... this thing has an awfully big bevel on the bottom side, but other than that ... *love*
I think I know what's going my Christmas wish list...

- Android phone or N900 in my pocket
- Mifi with AT&T 3G in my gadget bag
- This tablet in my gadget bag (1GB/Lithium battery version ... though, I wish they had a 2GB version)
I think that'd shape up to be a perfect mobile gear arrangement for me. Just waiting for the AT&T version of the Mifi to be announced :-) (well, and for the various products to get from "announced" to "shipped").

I've been following it since it first was announced. And unless I get a hands on look a this at CES, I likely won't touch it myself. Not impressed enough to bother with it.
