PDA's/Batteries

[Gregor _]

I got that battery from a German online shop: www.pdamax.de  On the top on the right side there is a search field (suche). Enter cz-294. No idea if that item number is the original HP supplies item number or just the order number from that online shop. It costs about 50 US Dollar.

Verituner seems to need much more power than tunelab because it´s calculating all the time. If one wants to save on power one should deactivate the inharmonicity measuring. Of course that makes only sense if you tune that piano the second time and you have allready all data. But as mentioned: no need to save on power with that battery. The only drawback is that the pda gets broadened, but I can live with that because I don´t use a cradle.

Hey Now to all list dwellers,
 
It seems this thread may be fizzling out, before it dies completely I have a few questions.
 
Dean May, what type or brand of PDA are you using?
 
Gregor, Where did you find that mega battery add on? How much?
 
I'm on my second Ipaq. I bought my first in early 2003. It still works great. The only reason I purchased a new one is Dave Carpenter suggested my old machine may not run the Verituner program very fast. My battery experience on both machines  is  pretty much exactly as Terry describes. Yes I have the screen dim as it gets. I have always got by with a car charger. This works for me. I think it was about twenty bucks at Circuit City. The only time I have had any issues is if one, I forget to plug it in between appointments. Or two, a very short distance between appointment's. In both cases I just leave the PDA in my car charging for a bit, go in the clients house get set up maybe do a bit of light cleaning, check for any problems in the action/pedals. In twenty minutes or so go back to the car and I'm ready to rock.

 
I've heard that the Dell Axiom can go all day. Is that what you are using Dean? Well in any case Dell no longer makes a PDA, and I predict with the smart phones/Phone's PDA's are soon to be extinct.
