Your review was spot-on concerning the internal microphone's finger sensitivity. I was actually suprised the battery lasts as long as it does but compared to the insane long life of iPods, I can see your point. On a four-day heavily-recorded conference, I used two batteries. I have found that using an external stereo microphone makes it great for hand-held use. It is very small and with the external mic capability it is also a great poor-man's audio capture device for voice-over, foley or capturing guerrilla filmmaking and actor audio in the wild.
