I confess I don't understand why people are having battery problems. I can get 6-8 tunings out of a charge. If you turn it down to the dimmest setting the battery lasts forever. You can even turn the display off and still see it enough to tune if you shine a desk lamp on it. Then it will last forever. If you find the charge getting low at the end of the day you can also reduce the time you need the Ipaq on (if it's not a pitch raise). Just don't tune unisons as you go. Or just tune the temperament with the Ipaq (or whatever octaves you have trouble with by ear) and the rest by ear.

If something is going to be tethered to the PDA why not simply use the AC adapter? Bring an extension cord. -- Regards, Jon Page
