Battery life will probably be a non-issue as with all Nokias the battery should be user repalceable, so just pop-in a spare and you'll be okay.
As to not selling big volumes, this will be a bigger hit than the Ngage, where Nokia spend a considerable sum too. And with Wifi use booming, many casual users will prefer bringing these to their local Starbucks than lugging along a laptop.
Sure its not phone volumes but could boost the PDA current 10 million per year volume. And who knows, when VOIP become more widespread, Nokia will be better positioned there than any other hardware makers...
I'll get this one over the Lifedrive.... $350 for a 800x600 pixel screen device look sweet. Only Nokia could price it that way, thanks to their big size and volume orders. I doubt PalmOne could produce a comparable product for that price.
