Business Users' Color Palm-size PC Guide

Increased Battery Life

Unlike the first generation of Palm-size PCs, which are equipped with a choice of standard or rechargeable AA or AAA batteries, color Palm-size PCs (with the exception of the Philips Nino 500) come with rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries.

The use of Lithium Ion results in longer battery life for color Palm-size PC devices, ranging from six to ten hours according to manufacturers' estimates. (Please see the table below for further information.) This means that you should be able to use a color Palm-size PC for a full business day without having to recharge it -- much like a mobile phone.

In addition to a main battery, color Palm-size PCs also feature a back-up battery, which saves the data and system settings if the device runs out of power.
