Hi.

As much as I love the dedicated machines, in this area, they just can't compete.

I have Palm and PPC and can't decide between them so I've kept both.

Today I did a test on my Toshiba e400. Running Genius in analysis mode and with
screen-light on (lowest setting) starting at only 52% battery after just over
three hours it was down to 4% but still working away. With flash-memory and
memory cards you won't be losing any data in a hurry.

If you like to carry databases around PPC is better but the Palm has a lot to
commend it. I have well over 600 games on my Palm Tungsten mostly from my club
mates and friends.

Strength-wise they will trounce any portable dedicated unit.

Good luck.

Ray.
