JimC, why is it that you don't ask those who are touting the "power saving capabilities" of MicroOS to look up the power usage based upon specific components? We are to accept the pro arguments without question. Every con argument requires proof. You won't ever apply your own rules to your own arguments. (Generally, you have no arguments, in any case, other than infantile insults. I'm pleasingly shocked to find you even made an attempt to delve into the technology, albiet no deeper than "is so". I guess you ran out of pages in your "kindergarten insults" dictionary...) The fact remains - whatever "power saving" capabilities MicroOS may have, EDIG has been unable to translate that into a consumer benefit. In fact, all they have managed to do is come up with a player that doesn't last as long on a battery charge than the player it's replacing. The Treo product is inferior, in this respect, to the product it replaces. Consumers EXPECT better battery life out of newer products - not less! When I replaced my Nikon 950 with a Nikon 990, the difference in battery life was astounding. It is clear why by simply touching the LCD display - it ran HOT on the old camera - the new one is cool to the touch. Physically smaller hard disks (as is in the Treo vs. the PJB) have less mass, and require less power. I don't need to look it up. I can guar-an-tee that it is less. Even without any special "power saving capabilities" the Treo should last longer on a charge than the PJB. But it doesn't. EDIG has failed to meet consumer expectations. It DOESN'T MATTER if some component in the Treo sucks more juice than in the PJB (though I doubt very much that that is the case) and if MicroOS somehow magically brought the battery usage back to the level of the PJB. SO WHAT? They've demonstrated their stupidity in imprudent component selection. They've failed to produce a consumer benefit. That is the bottom line. Again, this is NOT moving forward - it is moving backward. But, that doesn't surprise me. Look at the stock chart.
