Worst gadget ever?
Battery life> > > > Maylong’s website doesn’t specify any details about the non-user-replaceable battery, but does say that it has a standby time of 2-3 hours. That’s not usage time, folks: that’s how long the thing will last in your bag after you unplug it, and according to our use, it’s a pretty good estimate. If you charge it before leaving for the airport, there’s a pretty good likelihood that the M-150 will be dead by the time you get on the plane.> > > > > Usage time is even worse. We “used” the device as best we could for as long as possible, and the battery usually only gave us an hour or less before dying out. (Yes, there were times when we got less than an hour from a full charge.) This was usually with WiFi on, though as we noted in the Usage section, just because the device says WiFi is on doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true.> > > > > Either way, we can’t imagine getting too much more than an hour during anyone’s regular usage patterns. (Then again, it’s so infuriating to use, you probably would never find yourself using it for more than an hour at a time anyway.)

Horrible gadget, but the review is hilarious. The above-quoted “battery life” section appears towards the end, by which point I think the writer dropped all pretence of it being a serious article.
