JK posted battery life and his quick impressions of Samsung Q1-SSD.

Bottom line - worst case scenario (all radios on) 2 hours exactly. This compares with Kevin’s run time of 1 hour 44 minutes, a 15% increase. This is not bad and correlates with the 3 hours I am regularly getting in real use.

The SSD is still very fast, even after loading all my productivity applications, e. g. Microsoft Office 2007 beta 2. Even with Windows Desktop Search installed I am not seeing the noticeable performance hit that exists on all 3 of the other devices I’ve loaded with the beta. I don’t know if you can attribute that solely to the SSD but that’s my guess since the Q1 only has 512 MB of memory where my HP tc1100 has 1 GB.
