Hi, all.

0 @, G8 j- F% Y: }. FI just want to put out a post about Battery test for our members' PDA for reference to new buyers and everyone.

I guess it is very difficult to 'test' battery life of each machine since everyone's light setting, hardware are all different.  And I hereby suggest using Battery Graph v1.02(or newer) as a common ground.

4 [( `1 B: r2 l; }* f2) Install it in your palm, and then set your lighting to a certain percentage(for example, for my TT, I usually use 25% backlight)  And please do NOT charge it again during the test.
