<div>Terry, </div> <div> </div> <div>In addition to the other suggestions you've gotten, you might also check with Ron Koval. I noticed in his last youtube video that he was using a pda of some kind. Maybe he can give some suggestions. </div> <div><br>Avery <br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 8:39 AM, Farrell <<a href="mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com">mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div><font face="Arial">I will be taking a first run on my new HP ipaq 111 PDA w/ Verituner software (been using a VT100 for a few years) this afternoon. Just got the software installed last night. Was curious how long the battery lasts, so I left the unit on while I walked my dogs this morning and the darn thing chewed up 55% of my battery in 90 minutes just sitting there with the display lit up. That's going to put a severe cramp on my tuning business.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial">Anyone else care to share their experience with the battery life of these units? I believe the Cybertuner software is often run on similar/same PDAs. My battery is 1.2 Ah capacity. Do I need to head out in the morning with a separate battery for each pitch raise and tuning? Is there a way to minimize the power drain? If I am tuning, I can't have the thing going to sleep every three minutes - I mean, I'm using it!</font></div> <div><font face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial">I can't believe anyone is using these things if you can only get one or two tunings out of the darn thing before it goes dead.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial">Terry Farrell<br>Farrell Piano</font></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Arial"><a href="http://www.farrellpiano.com/" target="_blank">www.farrellpiano.com</a><br><a href="mailto:terry@farrellpiano.com" target="_blank">terry@farrellpiano.com</a></font></div></div></blockquote> </div><br>
