I'm able to boot it with powered only by the USB port and without battery.
This is very useful to write a new distro on the SD card since the SD
card is then
easily accessible (and I'm using this a lot to run gentoo on openmoko :p).

I only use it to boot a rather tiny system, no GSM, no WiFi, but ssh and X
are able to run.
