Well, I there's a 3600 mAh removable battery from HP (FA197A#AC3), but I
don't really understand how it connects to the h2200 without
disassembling it. As far as I am concerned, I'd rather buy 900 mAh
regular extra batteries, which are cheap and very easy to carry and swap.
Actually, I have no idea what battery life will be on Linux, but that
will be one of the most interesting parts! We have all the power
management specs, and playing with the kernel to switch off peripherals
whenever they are not needed should be nice. We can also use the
cpu-freq drivers to keep the cpu frequency to a minimum when it's idle.
Actually, trying to beat Windows CE in this field would be a nice challenge!
