On battery usage, the newer models for both Palm and Pocket PC have much better
battery life.  Also with the faster processor -- you may be able to use shorter
tc for a slight gain in battery life or use it with no pondering (HUGE gain in
battery life).  On my PPC , it is strong enough without pondering and just a few
seconds per move per game.  I can play many many games for many hours on the
Dell Axin with those settings.
