Has anyone tried this? It's relatively new but I do wonder...

I'll ask around to see if any review sites would be willing to test this out. If this device delivers the claimed 30% increase in battery life, a T4x (that lasts about 3.5 hours with medium screen) brightness + WiFi would go almost 5 hours on just the 6-cell battery.

I read about a similar product for cell phones, but they wrote, that there's not a much longer lasting than without. They wrote their phones lasted 3 hours without and 3 hours and 20 minutes with it or so, I think thats not the worth to spend time, money and work for it.

I "Want" this to be true, (probably why they're still in business). However, their website indicates they developed this in 2003, and NO legitimate store/distributor (that I can find) carrys it. I smell "cell phone antenna extender" scam!
