iRex has announced (in the iRex forums somewhere) that they will provide a battery replacement programme for owners of the er100. No details yet, but if they provide the larger battery, combined with basic CPU throttling in the viewers, I believe we'll actually get close to 21 hours.

Now, with CPU throttling, the "2007" iLiad (with new battery) will actually over-perform according to their specs. How iRex could have "exausted powersaving options" when the CPU was running flat at 400Mhz at all times is beyond me. I mean, they even give a tip and option to turn off audio to save battery!

Makes me wonder what other improvements can be done (CPU voltage adjustment, extension cards etc)...
