Battery life in general is one of my biggest gripes about modern wireless devices.  How wireless are you if you have to carry around a charger and look for outlets.  They keep finding ways to make devices smaller; I wish they&#039;d use some of that extra space for more battery.  Every new feature that&#039;s added uses more juice which exacerbates the problem.
Better still, design the device so that the entire back is a removable battery pack.  That way you could not only swap batteries, but use an extended battery without completely destroying the aesthetics and feel. You&#039;d also have the option to use a smaller pack when size/weight matters more than battery life.
I still look fondly upon the days when I used a REX organizer the size of a credit card that would work for MONTHS on two button cell batteries.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That looks pretty useful, although it would have made more sense to me to pass through the iPod connector.</p><p>Battery life in general is one of my biggest gripes about modern wireless devices.
