Just tried this. Video quality is surprisingly good (on iPod 4G), considering that they seem to be using VP8. When will there be an Android client?

Dell used to offer an extra battery which fits in place of the DVD drive, and can be swapped very easily. My laptop lasts for about 7 hours with the extra battery and the DVD drive is less useful when you can transfer files over wireless (and making a DVD backup on the HD is easy). I don't know if they still offer this option, but if they do it's worth getting. I find that having charged the battery over night I can use the laptop for a whole day without recharging by putting it in standby when I'm not using it.
