Eddie VanDerBeck from the GBM team has been testing out the Flipstart UMPC, a device that recently received a price cut down to the more realistic entry-level of $1500.
I watched the video to see if Eddie had any opinion on, what I believe is very poor battery life with the standard small battery shown in the video. With this standard 20W/hr battery you’ll get something like 1.5 hours of mobile Internet. The Flipstart actually ships with a large-capacity 40whr battery which would double those figures. Unfortuately he hasn’t tested that part yet but I’ve asked the question in the comments section of his post on GottaBeMobile.
