ok
I want to run skype for 3 hours. That means I want to be able to actively search the web and go to energy-hungry sites for 8+ hours. I want to be able to listen to my music on Canola for 15+ hours straight (screen inactive). I want to be able to watch video on MPlayer for 6+ hours

i'm asking for a lot, but i'm sure theres somtehing... and you get what you pay for, right?

seriouosly thats one of the most disappointing parts of my N800.. its battery blows compared to the Touch's
Weird...I routinely get 3-4hrs for Skype calls. I know because I make calls of 1-2hrs several a day a few times each week. And I still have power left over. Then again I keep my display set to 2-bars not blaring at full brightness when it's not needed. Plus my tablet is just about a month old. So the battery is still holds around 98% of full charge capacity.
