Am currently waiting for the new HP Ipaq 2490 which was just released in US last month. Just wandering when will it be available in Malaysia and for how much.

Like all batteries, lithium batteries which are used in PDAs have a certain number of 'life charges' . For example, some batteries can only manage about 500 charges before it looses its function. By this time, you might notice that yr battery has a shorter life. Since u cannot 'remove' the battery and replace it, its better off that u buy a new model cos its just not worth replacing the battery. This a common thing seen in most of the Palm PDAs and ipod.
