At the end of the day Nintendo chose power over battery life this time


No, not really. It's because battery tech has been at standstill and gadgets demands more and more power.

Until we get some battery breakthrough, we're very much stuck with short battery life.

Yeah i guess. I just got a smartphone and playing around with it rapes my battery. It's frustrating. Particularly because I need my smartphone to at least be on standy 9-5 (and preferably in the evening too if I'm expecting texts from friends) and I'd imagine that charging the battery frequently (like say every day or every two days) is not good for the battery's long-term staying power. If I don't touch that bloody thing, it'll last the work day on standby without consuming much juice. But god forbid I ever want to game on the thing, do some 3G/Wi-Fi browsing or use some apps (the reasons why I got a smartphone in the first place). That drains the battery fast.
