We can always hope that HP is doing this because they are getting ready to release its replacement (the ipaq lookalike with full expandable keyboard) .

Now that is a very intriguing theory... One can only hope... But my bet is that that particular design is no where near productions yet.

Actually, 4 hours for a laptop is quite good. Remember, this is not a solid-state pocket pc, but a real PC, with a real big-laptop CPU, high res shiny screen and a spinning hard drive.

It think it looks pretty interesting, would be nice if the "reference" ideas ever got released though.

I'd say 4 hours of real usage is quite good. But when companies say "up to X hours" in their advertisements, it's usually far less.

I realize it's supposed to be a "real" laptop, but on the other hand they are really targetting somewhere in between, something you could carry with you more often (and therefore use more frequently) than a laptop. As such, it really might need a little more battery life for practical use.
