It is.  The Seidio small extended battery for the 680, available only
from Seidio so far as I can tell, is the same price as the Palm branded
standard battery via Treocentral.

If I were to do this, it would be a swap, with the OEM battery becoming
a spare.  Thanks for confirming my feeling that a 100mAh gain is not
worth it.

I guess for my usage then, 1500mAh would make it worthwhile, if the
cost isn't too much higher than an OEM battery.  My usage really isn't
that heavy, but I've gotten it down to ~35% on occasion - after dealing
with the calibration issues.
