I haven't done any battery life testing yet but I will. We just put  
NetBSD current on there late last night and one of our guys is surfing  
the net right now with one of the prototypes. We'll run it through  
some tests over this weekend on FreeBSD 7 and post some relevant specs  
up on the site next week. I'll let everyone know when we update :-P

We've got a couple of minimalist stickers on there but we're hoping to  
ship it with a fun BSD sticker kit. I put the huge FreeBSD Mall bumper  
sticker on the lid of mine ;-)
