Today, I read what the battery said on it from severe bordom. It says on it "Lithium Ion"! WHY DOESN'T IT SAY LITHIUM POLYMER IF THAT IS WHAT THEY CLAIM THE BATTERIES ARE MADE OF?! I have a 2Ghz MBP so I know I dont have a PowerBook! lol

current battery technology doesnt allow us to make a pure lithium polymer battery. the lithium polymer batteries are actually lithium ion-polymer batteries, so either definition works.

sit down and have a beer.

Calm down, Pele!

Lithium Polymer is simply one variant of Lithium-Ion. It's not a big deal.
