An EeePC 901, one of the most power efficient designs on the market will bring you 6-hours (a TRUE 6 hours, wifi-on) out of the box. You can get extended batteries (or a cheap 3-cell) to bring this up to 9 hours. If you put the Eee PC 901 battery on the best of the UMPCs (E.g. Fujitsu U2010) you'd get about 10 hours battery life on a single charge. While these numbers may be just good for marketing, they do atually give the user an element of confidence when they are mobile working. I know myself that if I see 1.xxhrs on the meter I start to worry. 4hrs+ and i'm feeling OK. 6hrs and i'm happy to commit to an all-day out-of-office session.

Living off a notebook for 8-9 years, I've never yearned for an all day charge...and actually since adopting an iPhone, I'm finding that notebook usage has fallen anyway...

I do think the netbooks and iphones of the world are going to reduce the need of toting a full notebook around. I personally would like to see changes in work habits so that you wouldn't need a 24 hr computer. I’m not sure how large the market is for continuous notebook usage.
