The Zaurus C-860 battery's capacity is 1700 mAH. It's 5cm x 3cm x 1cm. Apparently someone managed to run it with screen off, wifi (CF-card) on and headphones plugged into it streaming music for 12 hours. I believe him, because when I am using it, I don't have to care about battery state during the day. But I have to care about the energy state when I am using the iLiad, because you can nearly see the battery drain when you are scribbling...

The Zaurus doesn't have a real power switch, it just suspends and resumes in no time. So actually you nearly never have to boot it. It's nice and I do not know why this shouldn't be possible with the iLiad as well. After all it does have more or less the same ingredients and lacks a thirsty mega bright vga color display...
