That's the one that keeps the battery life at 3 hours.

Seriously, this "origami" is a blatant rip-off of the Nokia 770, which
is not perfect either, but at least has 7 hours of battery juice.

I guess that, since Microsoft are tied in to their own crappy O/S, real
power management is out of the question for "origami".
