3) Shorter battery life. Frankly, I can't imagine anything shorter than that of the 770.
4) Bigger and heavier--ok guys, mov'in in the wrong direction here.

So, I repeat...$699, OUCH!
I figured you were asking why it was more expensive than the 770, so I gave a couple of reasons why. You don't have to like them, or even see a need for them, but they are still valid reasons why the Pepper is more expensive than the 770.

As for the root-crippling: I admit that I am still 2005-biased. WHat can I say?
