Personally, I don't think Engadget is being biased in this case, they are simply pointing out the facts. The battery really is described as going through 300 cycles before its life begins to deteriorate. Its the same with almost any battery-powered electronic device.
I don't think Engadget is covering anyone's rear, but more incensed with the amount of law suits being filed over an issue, which is known before people purchased their batteries. The key issue for this case is "if there is a class-action lawsuit, which law firm gets to be lead". There is huge money there and everyone wants free money for being 'ignorant'.
