And I've been terribly spoiled by my 9-cell Dell Vostro 1400 and ASUS 1000H so at least partially it's just a matter of not wanting a newer laptop that runs less than an older one.

They should at least give people the option of putting in a larger battery though, even if it makes the laptop all bumpy.]]>Dec 4th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/Dec 5th 2008 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/

...I don't think the iPhone is powerful enough to handle Flash and still have the same fluidity as it did before. Maybe if it had some Tegra and OMAP 3 goodness, but you can't exactly package those into a firmware update :p]]>Dec 4th 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/

Eee PC 1002HA lasted 3 hours and 39 minutes. This is lower than the
mini-notebook average of 3:48, and 49 minutes shorter than the 1000H.
The identically priced Samsung NC10 lasted 6:34 in our tests, nearly
three hours longer."

Someone will say maybe the cells are bigger, but to make things
worse:

"Note that the 1002HA's battery doesn't slide into the back edge of
the system; rather, it is buried on the bottom, so users won't be
able to use a standard Eee PC battery."

Seriously, they had to screw it up. I guess the guy who design these
got bored and wanted to make this identical than their
every-day-new-eeepc netbook.]]>Dec 4th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/Dec 4th 2008 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/Dec 4th 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/Jan 6th 2009 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/asus-eee-pc-1002ha-reviewed-looks-cool-but-the-battery-stinks/
