I used my 720 yesterday to take notes at a conference. I used it for at least 6 hours, and I still have a third of a charge. I wonder how that compares to new PDAs? (Forget about trying to match that with a laptop.)

I did have my laptop with me, but I knew that wasn't going to last more than 4 hours and there were only a limited number of outlets. Plus, it gets uncomfortably warm when sitting in my lap.

They just don't build them like they used to.
