"Al23-901 rated at 7.4V / 66000mAh" (page 5) Seriously ? 66Ah? Won't that be as heavy as a car battery? Anyway, I don't see the point of a EEE PC 1000H since it is 3.2 pounds and about the size of a small notebook. Sure it will last for 9 hours. Maybe if you just want to use it as a warm paper weight. And the price is even more expensive than some of the recent cheap notebooks around. Asus seems to have lost their way on the eee umpc idea. Don

I take it you've seen the new Li-po micro batteries?
There's flying toys out there that weigh 6 grams
The Li-Po cell inside looks to be about 15mm x 20mm x 5mm in size and probably weighs less than 2 grams.
here's a link because this is cutting edge stuff :
Micro HeliQ The Smallest 6 Grams Indoor Helicopter Ready to Fly!! (Red)
That kind of power to weight ratio suggests that approximately 224 of these cells would weigh one pound and produce 25% of the capacity you'd need.
yeah, these are lightweight batteries.
