Battery life

Hi all.

I am thinking about buying a Neo Freerunner.
But then I found the warning that battery will last
only 1 day, and also some better values on this list.
So, what are your personal records so far?

Second issue before buying: any recommendations for
a small, but usable external keyboard?

Greetings
Sven

Battery life changes a lot depending on the distribution that is  
installed on it.

QtMoko lasts 2 days, if the suspend mode is set after 1 minute.
If I recall correctly Android lasts less than 24 hours before needing  
a charge.

As for the external keyboard, I saw a bluetooth one on TuxBrain,  
nicely packaged to go with the Freerunner.  Did not order it, so YMMV.

SHR-unstable - I can't complain on battery time. 2-3 days with limited
usage, 1-2 days with typical usage. By applying hardware fix for
#1024, battery time on suspend can also increase a lot.

I use "iGo stowaway BT keyboard" [1].
They are discontinued but if you google it, you
find a lot of both new and used ones.
