@jlippiner OK, I still would argue that you're going to see a pretty substantial volumetric hit for the 4x bands you plan to support, and a decent GPS antenna with any reasonable performance. Remember, GPS sensitivity is on the order of -120dBm. You can't mail in that antenna design and expect reasonable accuracy. Ground plane alone for GPS may blow up your volumetrics.
Also, do you have a vendor for that battery you're pulling the quote size/capacity from, or is this an estimate? Are you considering self-discharge over 3 months, as well as overall system quiescent current draw? Or just active mode?
Thanks for the note on the FuelBand. Lots of us still love, and wear, the product here.
