Just one suggestion...if you do worry about the battery's life, and you want
to make sure you can use your PPC as long as you can without recharging,
well, there is only one way can help you.......get some backup
batteries.....myself personally carry two more backup batteries with me when
I go out for a long trip that I may not have a chance to recharge within a
long period of time....well...I do also carry the charger.... :-)
