The lightweight property of lithium atoms is irrelevant to that.

Your description works very well when you desire the best energy-to-weight ratio, but I think I wouldn't mind if the N900's battery were twice as heavy, if it lasted twice as long.
Good lord I would - Its quite heavy as is. The problem that all tech devices have is that battery tech is lagging far behind device tech. The demands for power have increased exponentially while the ability for the battery to supply that demand has not kept pace. Lets not forget it wasnt that long ago that NiCad batteries were the best we could manage.
