I use my Lib100 as an in-car MP3 player (gotta love hearing my car boot up!
=) ), running WinME and WinAmp, no problems once I turned off all
timer-dependent apps (like HDD powerdown etc... they make WinAmp skip.) I
put the playlist in my Start-Up folder, so that all I have to do is press
the power switch and it'll start playing. I've been able to run it for at
least 3 hours continuously on one extended battery. With the screen closed
and off, a major powerdrain is removed, so I wouldn't be suprised if you
can go for 4 hours on one charge. Anyone running a less busy OS? I wonder
if you run something with less overhead, you'd get even more run-time off of
one charge...
Oh BTW you don't need to remove that tab, just change the settings so that
closing the screen doesn't turn off the computer.
