Battery life for something like that can be quite good. Months if the
unit is turned off. Using the serial keyboard draws noticeably more
power, but not horribly so. Depending on how hard you bang on it, you
could get several days to a week or so for a set of batteries.

Test the backup capacitor in the unit. You should have at least a
minute to swap out batteries without risk to the data - if you don't,
you'd better *know* that and plan for it.

Thanks (all) for the reply(ies).

You see, I want a portable writing device that's reliable and has a
long battery life.

My experience with laptops is that they have poor battery life, are
heavier and perhaps weigh down a bag, and perhaps more fragile without
a padded bag.

My experience with pocketpc and OS5 palms is that they are wannabe
laptops, therefore have short battery life, and are somewhat unstable
in their OS due to all that media junk.

I know it's a Palm OS4 device that I need. I know it's the palm
portable keyboard that I like (btw, is there a better keyboard?), and
that it's an AAA powered palm I want. I'm therefore somewhat undecided
between the iiixe and m125. The iiixe has a much better screen, the
m125 has an SD card.

What do you (guys) think?
