I am a regular user of an IPAQ from HP. I am currently using pad that is about 3 years old. I had to send it back for HP (then Compaq) for a battery replacement. Newer IPAG are now coming with a user replaceable battery. Just remember that notetakers with Braille displays store high voltages and companies have been reluctant to allow users to try to restart their own hearts. Ususally bad for business.

I wonder what the outcome would be if you had to send a normal pda in for battery replacement?

In fact, if I had the instructions, I wouldn't be at all afraid to do it myself. But, why not just a simple battery compartment accessible by the user. In fact, a company in Florida, I believe, made that available for BNS users that wanted it and I don't mean FS. Other than the Elba, are there any other PDAs on the market that the user has to send in the unit to have its batteries replaced? I seriously doubt this with off-the-shelf PDAs.
