I have a colleague who descibes a
marketing figure as one which the marketing department guarantee will never be exceeded. (As in 108Mbps WiFi and 24Mbps broadband.)

Nope; its just a marketing figure.
That said, it feels like they
ought to be able to get near that figure if they implemented proper PM, dropped into sleep mode as soon as a page was displayed, turned off the touch stuff, etc. In many cases, my mark-space ratio of needing the device to do any processing (no DR, but an iLiad) is between 1:10 and 1:100 and upwards.
Though a 2000mAh battery would make a lot more sense (especially, as has been already noted) for the WiFi/Bluetooth models.
(Incidentally, I've always heard that Bluetooth is meant to be notably more power efficient than WiFi -- can anyone back that up?)
