Battery Life; Battery Graphv1.02 results for Palm/Sony

comis

Hi, all.

I 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.

2) 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.

3) Turn off all the BT or IR, and use it for ONE purpose only
