the wind is still WAY overpriced for this market, and i don't think a (admittedly nice) 9-cell will help that
that said, HP are the worst offenders on price

Rumours are that Asus are doing something for all day use on the Eee too, perhaps a bigger battery. I've recently got an Eee PC (1000H) and the battery life on that has really surprised me (in a good way!)

SUrely no-one is gonna be fooled when the damned six cell battery is not available. Boycott the Wind I say!!!!

Anyone any idea what '2H08' means??
Re: News - MSI's secret Wind-weapon: the fabled nine-cell battery
Second half of 08? Which we're in... wouldn't surprise me if we didn't hear something soon, possibly.
I did a fair bit of research before trying the netbooks (and persuading myself that I needed - well, wanted - one) and the Eee 1000H seemed to fit the bill best. The only keyboard I found better to use was the HP Mini Note but that was horribly overpriced and underperforming. Still, it's an interesting market to be watching/involved in at the moment. :)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/9-cell-6600mAh...3286.m63.l1177 as an example(there are quite a few popping up now).
This is a 6600mah battery. There also seem to be some 7200mah batteries popping up but they protude from the back a bit.
