Well, if he is planning to use wireless a lot during a day, that does cut
the usable hours down quite a bit.
Granted, without wireless on you get at the very least 6 hours of use and
that would carry most people through an entire day, but I know people who
have long commutes on top of their work day and could easily have it on
longer than the current battery life would support. I'm not looking to
start an unending thread, but longer battery life isn't an unreasonable
request.
I gather there are plans to offer extra batteries, and that could be the
solution if you could charge them outside of the unit. Then, with an extra
charged battery, you'd be good to go for the entire day plus.
I personally don't want a longer life battery, but having an extra battery
would be great.

How much battery life do you need in a day? This thing will run for hours
and all you need to charge it is a computer with a USB drive. What would
you be using it constantly for? Just curious.

Hi list!
Please consider increasing the battery life. It is my hope one day to buy
the Icon Braills plus to replace the book port and an accessible cell phone
when the features and international provisions are in place for that to
happen. It will be necessary to be certain I can get through an entire day
using all services between charges if this can happen. I trust this isn't an
unrealistic expectation. In the current circumstances, this wouldn't be
possible.
Cheers,
Dave
