We are planning on ordering one. I've been tasked with finding out if I can
make good debug systems out of the iPaqs. (oh darn, give me a couple to play
with ;)

What I wonder though, is how long will the battries last with both both cards
in and in use. I've seen comments on the list of 802.11b cards just turning
off after four hours, not a real issue you just lose connectivity. But what
if the HD and the NIC go down after 2 hours and no warning, loss of data.

bad, very bad.
