- More capacity in the same form factor
- Fits in existing space so no replacement door is needed

So, basically a fancy replacement battery. Guess it will all come down to price. If it's only $5-$10 more than a standard replacement, I'd definitely get the slightly higher capacity pack.

I'd really be interested in a major capacity bump and a replacement door. Could give it a battery sized bulge, or an iphone 3gs (and earlier) style curved back.

Could see a extra hour or so out of it.

i bet its not even really 2200mah and will not outlast the oem battery and will be more expensive if past batteries they release are an indication.

They did tests over on the captivate forum with crap ebay china batteries and even the Seidio batteries and they were ask worse than the oem despite having higher mah. The seidio actually just barely beat the $5 ebay one despite being like 17x more expensive.

be good to see but with a dock for everything they'd have to be real careful or they'll make a lot of people not care ^_^

you say that, but using basic electrical formulas for batteries, and the fact that the 1900mAhr battery can net me 36 hours on a charge. the extra 300mAhrs would give another 5.6 hours. That isn't insignificant.

of course that all assumes they can deliver on promises.

Its really impossible to do in the way batteries work

My experience with aftermarket batteries (for all kinds of devices) is that they rarely outlast the OEM batteries, no matter what mAh spec the manufacturer prints on the label. Most of them don't even last as long as the OEM batteries.

But hey, maybe these Seidio engineers have enabled cold fusion.
