Seidio Slim Extended Battery

[eagle132]

End of the month and no update. Has anyone heard any more news? My original battery is dying it seems, only lasts about half the day with minimal use

Their page shows the slim extended battery for the droid is still in development. Somehow they were able to develop and release the slim extended battery for the nexus already...although the droid has been out longer and has a larger user base. Way to go seidio...

So you think they're just holding out on us for fun?

Ya, and they're also the ones holding up 2.1

considering the support and sales of other accessories they're getting from droid users you'd think they'd return the favor by looking out for us first. but no word from seidio at all, not even an eta. but who knows, maybe there was some underlying incentive to release it for the nexus first.

I know nothing at all about Sedio's manufacturing processes. However, I strongly suspect that they simply subcontract such work with battery manufacturers. Given the fact that the Nexus and Droid use different batteries, it's entirely possible that the availability of the Nexus extended battery versus that for the Droid is based solely on capacity and manufacturing options available from their vendors.

I am personally really looking forward to the slim extended battery. I figure between that and the upcoming 2.1 update which "should" improve battery life, the battery life should be pretty good then.

I have a sincere question: Why have I seen a couple posts from people stating that the 2.1 update will improve battery life?

In everything I've read online, I have yet to see any "somewhat official" statement regarding 2.1 and battery life. Everything I have seen about 2.1 stating that battery life will improve has been from a few random posts from forum members stating how they "hope" or "wish" or "anticipate" that battery life will be improved with 2.1.

I know this is a thread about the Seidio Slim battery, but sorry, I just had to post this.

Can someone point me to any real information about the 2.1 update improving battery life?!

posting for future reference.
