Kevin Tofel has posted up an analysis of the Samsung Q1B's battery life. Battery Mark score? 179 minutes. Yes, that's three hours minimum of continuous use on the standard 3-cell battery. Drop in an extended battery and that's a minimum of six hours. And if you're not constantly draining the battery you'll get about 4 hours of battery life on the standard battery. Here's a quote:
With the recent Samsung Q1U & Intel A1xx CPU announcements it's easy to overlook the current VIA-based UMPCs, but I think there's a little overdue credit that should be extended to Via. It's clear that Intel's new mobile chips are aimed squarely at the VIA C7-M; by providing an energy efficient CPU, VIA has helped pull Intel into the market which provides consumers more choice. Would Intel have done so anyway? I think they would have, but we might have waited longer.
