Usage:

1. ultra mobile platform (small and rough)

2. dirt cheap battery replenish (long term usage)

3. Need to find a decent GPRS or something.

Gets shipped with 8x2000mAh cells (runs on 8x AA) and I tried it with 1100mAh NiCd - acceptable runtime

Next i plan to seek some 2800mAh or so cells ;o)

There are so many people with so many cool toys. 2 AAs! Gotta love the net for sharing all the possibilities. What will your primary use for it be? I remember running a mail server on RedHat with 1/3 the processor and 1/2 the memory yikes!
