What he said!

The one thing that I find encouraging about the DR800 is that it does have a replaceable battery. Whether that means keeping a spare on hand, or else (like they do with PDAs and phones) somebody down the road will likely come out with an "extended" battery that fits the device. Kind of like what users have come up with for putting larger batteries into the iLiad, but it should be a lot simpler on the DR800 because of the built in access.
