Hihi, new new newbie here. Meaning to get a mini. Just wondering is mini that good?

I foresee myself to be a heavy user, so I maybe having a lot of programs open at a time. Will this cause my mini to crash or hang? How about the battery life? Last me at least a day or two?

And I've heard the pros of Palm TX and the cons of PPC. So maybe you guys can tell me the pros of mini and the cons of TX? Haha... in terms of:
- Battery life when used in the hands of a heavy user
- Stability when used in the hands of a heavy user
- Number of programs
- Difficulty of using it as a book
- Ease of use / Simplicity
- Others?

The black housing looks good. Will get one if I get that 2nd hand mini. Argh... want to get that mini... but should I get? Haha. Still thinking... now 70% sure... just need a little bit more nudge. Grr...
