Battery Life with USB HSDPA Modem

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I'm nearing Liverpool St station, writing this on my Eee on the train.

It was fully charged when I left, i've been using it for an hour and 20 mins now, max brightness, WiFi off, connected to T-Mo the whole time via their USB HSDPA modem. Some 2G coverage, some 3G coverage.

Battery is still at 50%!

What - you didn't take your macbook???? Are you using linux on the eee of some other os? Was thinking of getting one of these little eee things if it'll run osx properly

I did take my macbook, but I took the EEE too as I wanted to appraise it's suitability for 'chuck in the bag don't want to carry around a laptop' journeys ;)

I'm running the default Xandros install.
