Thinking about it, I just remembered that some of the PDAs from Palm (like the Palm V) had a rechargeable battery. However, I just checked Wikipedia and the Palm VII used two AAA batteries.
To me, the Palm VII might have been the beginning of the decline of the Palm PDAs. One of the reasons that Palm OS PDAs were great was they had a limited number of functions but those functions worked very well (I haven't found a To-Do List app for my smartphone that is as good as the one for my Palm PDA). Palm's view was that if you wanted functions beyond the basics write them yourself...and many people did. I had a database program for my Palm that was better than the ones for my Windows machine.
