But yet it seems all the Palm devices want to play MP3s, video, etc... This was a good argument a few years back, but as I said earlier, it seems Palm is playing catchup to WinCE, instead of staying in their easy to use market.

I think this is sad. Palm had a good niche going on, and I wish they would keep with the product lines that are simple and inexpensive. I think they are trying to do this with some of their m series (m100) but the Zire is the wrong direction. You need to provide at least the base functionality of the Palm III or Visor (which you can get for $30 or so on eBay) not go backwards.

The Tungsten T does still outlast the iPaq 1910, but just by a bit (5% difference at most).

I guess I wasn't including the Tungsten series in my comparison because they use an ARM processor, and the older Palm devices use less power-hungry dragonball processors. The older III/V/m will run for weeks on a charge.
