The battery isn't replacable but seems impressive enough. As noted in Mobile Tech Review:
As a test, I surfed the web for 1.5 hours, watched videos for 40 minutes, viewed 50 images from an SD card, played games (Billiards, Bejeweled 2 and Trivial Pursuit) for 1 hour total, wrote an MS Word document in Documents To Go (25 minutes) and listened to 40 minutes worth of MP3s with the screen on during playback and had 38% battery remaining. Not bad for a device with an internal hard drive. We got 6 hours of continuous MP3 playback with the screen turned off and watching a two hour video with brightness set to 66% used 50% of the battery's charge (we used headphones with both tests).

LifeDrive
According to sources that shouldn't be named, PalmOne will be releasing the LifeDrive pretty soon. I did a little snooping and I found a French website that previews the LifeDrive.
There are also pics of the LifeDrive and one screenshot clearly shows the Lifedrive has built-in Wifi. Estimated cost? $500.
Use Babelfish to translate the article in English, though it's still pretty difficult to read.
