I it down to 10% within 3 days very heavy usage, without recharging. I
guess it would last 4-8 days with normal usage.
But it recharges really quickly. It went 25% back to 100% in about 1 hour.

It does everything my palm does. Handwriting recognition is really
amazing. Plam does not even come close.
Plus I rewrote my application to the CE within 4 days using very nice
convinient and free tool from Microsoft (VC++).
You can use C++ easly there and talk about speed/floating
point!!!/memory!!.
I think about dumping palm soon.
