In my opinion, , 12 hours is plenty of battery life. It is the user's responsibility to keep track of what state their battery is in before recording lengthy projects. You could have a 24 hour battery but it wouldn't help if you started recording when it was left with only a couple hours of charge when you started.
I've made that same mistake, so I always make sure I have enough of a charge before starting any project. I'd much prefer HIMS spend their energy getting the few issues resolved and adding DRM support. Just my two cents worth and it didn't cost anyone even that, grin.

Unknown to me, the BookSense's battery died about 2:30 into the recording. I think we need to have some knod of vibrator in the BookSense that will let someone know when the battery is running low while recording. Luckily, the recording that I made was saved to the SD card even when the battery died. I had left the BookSense on for a while before starting it, so that's why the battery ran down. This is still a concern I have. I'd love to see a future improvement to the hardware that would allow a vibrator to be put in the BookSense. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4458 (20090925) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4458 (20090925) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4458 (20090925) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
