That's the killer for me. 5 hours of use isn't long enough. My current Palm TX only needs to be "topped off" every other day (when the battery indicator gets about half way down).

Granted 5 hours is better than what I'd get on a UMPC, but I still say that batter life has to be, at a minimum, 1 full business day without needing to be recharged. If I have to recharge it in the middle of the business day, the device loses usefulness.

Either the device dies when I need it, or I have to carry around a life support unit for it (increasing the amount of stuff I already have to carry around).
