Surely if iRex seem to know that they can get 21hrs out of the battery, it should be pretty easy to implement.

Am I missing something?
I don't think they are claiming 21 hours any more.

Their original goal was based upon using an Intel CPU used in many cell phones, an e-Ink panel and a bunch of stuff that would be powered down most of the time: wifi, wacom, ethernet.

From my own investigations it seems things went wrong with the buttons, which should have been the easiest thing to get right...
