That sounds a bit low.
Not that I've seen longer life on mine, but I use mine a lot. A day or

WiFi), with almost constant web browsing, email checking, note taking
and GPS usage. I started charging it before I saw the 'low battery'
warning.

Have you tried running powertop in an xterm and looking at the output?
