they mention this:

“We tested the Q1 out by watching a ninety minute film (with wireless and other non-essential tools turned off) and it used 70 per cent of the battery.”

That puts DivX battery life at 2hours which is about what we were expecting.

Sorry Ctitanic, I dont see where these guys actually said they got more than 3 hours playing a DivX.

Where is the reference?

Wifi, doesn’t actually take much power so i’d expect the Wifi and external DVD tests to be similar.

That's sucks more power than just playing a Dvix. BTW, the test in Japanese site was streaming media via WiFi AFAIU. That’s sucks more power than just playing a Dvix.
