What would be the size increase for a battery with 1800 mAh? Same footprint and one mm thicker, and seven to eight grams of additional weight at most? I work in industrial design and I would not say those noting the paltry battery life are "whining" they are making an observation.
Was there a hue and cry and demand for the Palm line to be thinner? I don't see it. Palm buyers seem to be utility focused.
My own feeling is the "whiners" were probably a handful of iPhone focused marketing people at Palm six months ago overruling ID people concerned with utlity, and forcing the use of a grossly underpowered battery.
