I'm guessing it'll still do alright; the internal hardware isn't going to take much more space than it does in the iphone, so they'll be able to scale up the battery size significantly. The lithium polymer batteries are pretty flexible in how they can design them for the hardware. But you're right, that'll be something they really need to get right.
