Thanks for the link.  Personally I use a hp jornada 547 with a 256 meg flash
card. The processor isn't as powerfull as ipaqs but it does it all(I also use it
to play books on "tape" from audible.com and music) I can't say the battery life
has been a big problem.  I have used chess genius for long periods of time.  I
would guess at least 4 hours constantly.  This is an estimate because I usually
can only use it for shorter periods of time.  I just bring my charger at night
and also have a car charger for long car rides - listening to music and books.
I always make sure I turn it off when not using it.
I just bought pocket fritz.  I hope PF is not the reason for the short battery
life on ipaqs.

If palms can do trouble freesyncs with my calendar play music, audible books,
and a better game of chess I'd probably get one until then no way.
