One of the problems is that most people in this group use stand alone
units and expect 12 to 24 hours out of a set a AA cells. No PDA gets
this kind of life with backlighted color screens with the light on all
the time (even turned down) and rechargeable batteries. If you have
standalone battery expectations you will not be happy with the iQue. If
you have PDA expectations you will find it is league with many other PDA's.
