Hours of runtime, 4 powered USB ports, and a handy brick-like form-factor (which probably would bother some people a lot more than it would bother me.) I don't expect you're interesting in fabbing up some backpacks, jolouis, hence putting it back here rather than the new adapter thread.
yes, there are battery powered usb hubs, and rechargable usb power sources. I'll just go search zaurus forum at oesf.org as they were discussed there.
