Hate to disappoint you and your imagined victory but...
See this link as an example: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303785
Also, read all of the Tech Specs pages for the products.
I'm not sure why that page, you some how managed to find, hasn't been updated yet.
It also has an advantage in not weighing as much and being quite...
Wait, just read this from the wiki:
How about this one that I found just below yours:

This page has not been updated. Apple has been using Lithium-polymer batteries for at least a year now.From Apple.com
Lithium Ion Batteries
Rechargeable Lithium-based technology currently provides the best performance for your Apple notebook computer or iPod. You can also find this standard battery technology in devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Apple batteries share the characteristics common to Lithium-based technology found in other devices. Like other rechargeable batteries, these batteries may eventually require replacement.
Standard Technology
Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than Nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as Lithium is the lightest metal. You can also recharge a Lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep Nickel-based batteries at peak performance. (Over time, crystals build up in Nickel-based batteries and prevent you from charging them completely, necessitating an inconvenient full discharge).
Standard Charging
Most Lithium-ion batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging. That’s about two hours charge time to power iPod to 80% capacity, then another two hours to fully charge iPod, if you are not using iPod while charging. You can charge all Lithium-ion batteries a large but finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle.
Charge Cycle.
Using and recharging 100% of battery capacity equals one full charge cycle.
A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put both notebook and iPod batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80% of original battery capacity. As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery.
How to Maximize Power Use
The length of time your battery will power your device depends on how you use it. For instance, watching a DVD will use up your notebook battery’s power more quickly than simple word processing. You can follow some simple steps to maximize your notebook’s or iPod’s battery life.
Hot Tip
If you use your iPod or notebook in temperatures higher than its specified operating range, 95?F (or 35?C), you may permanently damage your battery’s capacity. I.e., your battery won’t power your device as long on any given charge. You may damage it even more if you charge the device in these temperatures. Even storing a battery in a hot environment can damage it irreversibly.
On Playing It Cool
You may find that playing an iPod in a very cold environment decreases battery life. Unlike a hot environment, this is a temporary condition. Once molecules in the battery warm up, the battery will return to its previous capacity.

Lithium-polymer DOES have more charge cycles than Lithium ion. That is perhaps one of the more important benefits of the battery and you will discover this on any wiki page or fact sheet. How can you sit there and tell me otherwise?btw, Archie, Lithium Polymer has no more recharge cycles than lithium ion, about 500. Wrong again.

Wait, just read this from the wiki:
Since no metal battery cell casing is needed, the battery can be lighter and it can be specifically shaped to fit the device it will power. Because of the denser packaging without intercell spacing between cylindrical cells and the lack of metal casing, the energy density of Li-Poly batteries is over 20% higher than that of a classical Li-Ion battery and approximately three times better than NiCd and NiMH batteries.
This will prove particularly useful in the iPhone, which is the original subject here.These are spammers and ramblings that you have selectively pasted in.You are such a blind fanboy. I hear the latest Mac Pro uses atomic batteries and never needs recharging. Thats because they are really 5 years ahead of everyone else!
I gues all these othe Appleusers are also amazed with Apple's battery tech!

Archie, again,wrong, wrong, wrong :shake:
Surur
How about this one that I found just below yours:
I love my powerbook. The battery life depends on a number of different factors so I have to laugh when people chide apple because THEY probably didn't use the battery correctly.
When you first receive your battery make sure to run the charge down completely before it is ever charged for the first time.
If you can keep your laptop plugged in when not traveling, this will help to lengthen the life of the battery.
SO GET OVER IT, CRYBABIES. LOL!!
