In the linked review of the Electrovaya Tablet PC on AnandTech Dave C. discovered some interesting info on the PowerPad battery technology used in this product. You can read more on the PowerPad technology on the patent page. According to the specs, this solution has the Tablet PC running for about 13 hours on a charge, so imagine what such a solution can do for a Pocket PC! Of course, you couldn't fit a battery of the same size in a Pocket PC, but then again the Pocket PC is a lot less power hungry than a Tablet PC. It will be interesting to see when Pocket PCs will start benefiting from new battery technologies like this.
