UMPCs: Battery Life? etc.?

If you can give me info on any one question, please do. Thank you.
1Which UMPC has the best battery life? 1a. Which has good battery life?
Which transflective (or glare-resistant) screens)
2. [If u can't answer this one, fine.] Can you rank them?
Having had a Tablet (Electrovaya's 300 -- I soupped it up -- with a
10.4" screen and 8 hrs of battery life but no good in sunlight, I am
looking for a better bird, since EV no longer makes these. Its 12" models
have transflective (bottom & top lit screens that are sunlight resistant),
and have almost 8 hours of battery life (via their patented POLYMER lithium
battery); but they are too big.

3. .Are there any UMPCs that are glare-resistant (transflective or
just
transmissive)?

3b.And/or have over 5 or 6 hours of battery life?

One of the EO's or the AGO7 knockoff with the double battery, will get
4 hours? If one is not playing video? Are the batteries hot-swappable?

But I believe none of the UMPCs have sunlight resistant screens, yes?

Fujitsu Tablets do; but that is it? This is an abominable situation. I
cannot stroll in the park or sit on a bench in my yard and do work. So the
claim to "take the UMPC anywhere" is false. [Some militarized versions have
sun-resistant screens; but for over 4 grand; and they can be dropped from 3
or more feet and survive, etc.]

3c. Need I ask if there is any UMPC that is a "toughbook", in the
sense
of taking drops of 3 feet and not needing a new motherboard. I have lost 2
computers by slips in putting them into their bags.

Help anyone.


Many thanks,

Joe or BodySpirit
