How's your battery's life?
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "HARDWARE" @ 01:17 AM
The new Pocket PC 2002 hardware represents improvements in many areas, battery life included. I went from an iPAQ Pocket PC 3630 to an HP Jornada 565 and get surprisingly more hours from one charge. I get about 2-4 days of real use with my HP Jornada 565 from one charge. That means I can actually forget the charger in my office on Friday afternoon, and still have batteries left on Monday morning! Could I have pulled that off with my old iPAQ Pocket PC 3630? No way!
I never thought I would care so much about battery life, being an "Enterprise System Architect", and all. But hey, without batteries I wouldn't be able to implement those use cases and drive those business benefits...
My questions to you are:
- What Pocket PC do you have and how many hours can you go?
- Which is the best Pocket PC 2002 device regarding battery life?
- Are there any tests published on the Internet that compare the battery life of the major Pocket PC 2002s?
