Still nowhere near as good as ARM chips, though, especially at idle.
We might be able to talk when they start shipping SoC variants, but I highly doubt it.
I have a Clevo TN70M with Poulsbo aka US15W chips and I agree with you that when idle, the N800 has a longer battery life, but watching movies, music of streaming the Clevo it lasts longer than the N800. On average it lasts 4 to 5 hours independent of the usage, while the N800 will manage barely 2 hours playing Wesnoth.
Ofcoaurse, the HW is not the same. The Clevo has a 7" screen and a 4 cell battery, but the power consumption is rather good in heavy usage.

4 hours of music (and even videos depending on settings) is not a problem for the N810 either. Wesnoth is another issue, from what I've seen it won't ever idle, so your best bet is to turn music/sound off and lower CPU speed (yes, it gets a bit choppier, but can easily double your battery life, especially if you couple it with standard battery tricks like offline mode, lower display brightnes, etc), but don't blame a desktop app's fault on the device/platform.

Yes, music vs Wesnoth is hardly a comparison. The N800 can do music for about 8-10 hours.
That's on 3-year-old tech, by the way. Just wait until the OMAP3 tablet is out.
