Touch vs Gorilla Glass Model
I'll assume that you were using the touch + digitizer model of the J3500. You'll find that the colouring that you refer to in your verdict not present on the Gorilla Glass model. It's unfortunate, but the extra convenience of touch will be worth the drawback of the yellowish tinge for many...
The battery figures that you quote are very suprising though. I have worked on my J3400 for 6 hours straight on it's two batteries. The worst I have experienced is 3.5 - 4 hours (3G active, lots of pen input, disk access etc.)
I can't imagine that the J3500 would be that much different. It sounds like your test was only using one of the 2 batteries to me.

Battery life
TabletPC - The J3500 was definitely using both batteries. It was one of the first things we checked! The shorter life is probably down to the more powerful processor in the J3500. Can I ask what CPU your J3400 has?
And yes, the J3500 we tested uses the non-Gorilla Glass version (see paragraph four).
