How often is one away from electricity for weeks? That's what I've often wondered about "my battery lasts almost forever" remarks. IMO, if a battery lasts long enough to get me through whatever I'd like the device to do in a day, I'm not greatly discommoded if I have to charge it every night. Because in my dead average suburban existence, I'm never away from electricity for days on end, and since I don't think many other people are, either, what does extraordinary battery life really matter, in practice? It's like "this car can do 120 mph" when one never goes faster than half that, and half that is more usual.
