The length of the battery is not related to a time, but the usage. It does have a high density Li-ion battery, but it dosn't last forever. Battery's tend to be rated to the number of charge cycles they can go through. I know it only took me a year and a half to run the battery on my cell phone to the point it only held a 15 minute talk time charge (down from 2+ hours).
Apples mistake was making the battery non-replaceable. The only spec I found about the battery is this "Built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery (630 mAh)"
Perhaps Al Skierkiewicz could stop by and explain the how and why the battery does this, and how to figure out the projected life of a battery.
