And speaking of the battery, thats the one area that Im not 100% pleased with. It does drop energy quickly. Id guess that It goes down 1% every 5 minutes or so--maybe a bit more, maybe less, I havent really timed it. The device does recharge very quickly, though, and uses very little energy when in standby mode, so both of those help alot with the battery issue--but it still isnt a device that youd want to depend on for a long road trip or continental flight. This is an old battery, though, so a newer one might perform much better. Ive considered getting one, they can be had on ebay for 10-12 dollars, shipping included.

A new battery will definitely help. If you keep the backlight low you should get about 5 - 6 hours on a charge with a fresh battery on that model I believe. Be sure BT is off.
