6 months for a keyboard seems about average, isn't it?

huh? I don't get that. "periods up to 12-15 hours"? I don't remember exactly, but it feels like it was about half a year since I changed batteries in my wireless intellimouse explorer (and I use it every day). Is it because of the laser thingie? But even so, how the hell can the battery time go from 4300 to 43 hours?

You definitely don't want Bluetooth for that mouse. I have the PC Bluetooth/Mouse diNovo set. The keyboard lasts forever on a set of regular AA batteries. The mouse, which uses rechargeables, goes dead after about 3 hours (which means swapping out regular AA batteries to continue working). The Logitech MX1000 mouse on my other PC, that uses the same proprietary RF technology this Mac set will use, lasts for... well, I don't know how long, I've used it for periods up to 12-15 hours, and the rechargeable battery indicator was still at 2 out of 3 pips.

now if they could release some drivers for Mac for their other products, like the MX 3000, I'd be seriously thirlled. Their support for Mac recently has alot left to be desired.

I hope their software is up to the mark this time around. My previous experience with Logitech MouseWorks software and Logitech Control Centre on MacOS X has been disastrous. I've had machines rendered unusable and unbootable by their software. Caveat Installer!
