Aaron, if you're looking at this, check out power management as well. I get
about 3 hours MP3 usage, tops, out of my 2G Toshiba drive in the *single*
iPAQ sleeve (the one with the extra battery) before the sleeve battery runs
flat. This is simply because the built-in media player minimises RAM use by
decoding on the fly - which means the HDD is spinning all the time. Find
some way to get round that and you have an instant convert :-).
