I saw that the pictures were up on Dell's site of both the 1100 and the 2200. I didn't really see a size difference. So does anyone know for sure if the battery sizes are the same or different?
Of course, the pictures could be just place holders trying to deceive us. :D

They are definitely different sizes.

I got off the phone with Dell to ask what the dimensions are for the batteries:
1100
1.535 x 2.047 x .2755
2200
1.57 x 2.047 x .55
So does this mean that there is a possiblity that the extended battery will fit flush? I don't see why it couldn't since the overall thickness of the device is about .7. Does anyone have a Dell to see if there's any addtional space in the battery compartment? :?:

If there were additional space in the battery compartment they either would have made the device smaller, or made a bigger battery standard...
I would expect the battery to not be flush.
I am also thinking about the extended battery. I wonder if anyone designs cases with extended battery in mind.

Does anyone know the OFFICIAL voltage of the batteries for the x50? I'm looking at a couple of possible external battery solutions (involving AA batteries and a USB socket to get the juice to the PPC). I'm looking for the voltage, so I can figure out the relative battery life. I've seen AA NiMH batteries with as much 2500 mAh, at 1.25V each, making a 4-pack solution 2500 mAh at 5V. I assume that any USB cables for the x50 will adjust the voltage accordingly. To repeat: anyone know the x50 battery voltage?
Thanx!
