Indeed I've heard from several who've put their PocketPCs up for >sale on ebay just because it won't play long chess games. It's VERY frustrating. I tried to use my iPAQ to watch/analyze many of the recent GM-PC games, and it *always* ran out of juice partway through the game. Luckily, if you have an AC outlet nearby, you can plug it in, but that would be of little help if you were standing in line at an airport or something. And the iPAQ's battery is not user-replacable. The latest HP Jornadas have a user-replacable battery that lasts considerably longer to begin with (I've heard), but of course the Jornadas are being discontinued now that HP has bought Compaq -- the iPAQ is a bigger seller. Sigh.
