thanks..... was just wanting to avoid having to play Quake III or some crap in order to find out how long the battery will last under a full load:P..... will try them all and see which works best for the purpose:P..... we'll see....

currently I've re-recharged the unit and am letting it sit there again with 2x uptime programs(uptime plugin, and my uptime) trying to figure out how long the thing can run... first time I recharged it.... it claimed to be full charge then I went to use it and the pda claimed it was dead followed by 20%:P...... this time around when I charged it, it was just fine.... so we'll see.... again I think this is a Cameron Sino issue:P.....

besides all this I'm gonna be posting some update pictures on xda soon:P
