Even now, I think there is an extended battery available or soon available that will give more like 5hrs battery life. That could add some extra weight and maybe even slightly more bulk, but still it is a good sign that it might not take any unexpected advances to get battery life into a reasonable range for a full day's work.
Me thinks they just want to milk us more by releasing a 1.5 hr unit and sell the 4~5 hr battery as an 'extended' batt.

If their normal batt is 4~5 hr, they would have to engineer something that last 7~10 hrs for it to be called extended!
