Dunno if this quote has been discussed in the thread or not (don't have time to check it):
"A typical battery holds 1000mAh of charge. 128M of RAM takes about 500mAh to stay resident for 72 hours. 64M takes about 250. This is why you never saw a 256M WM 2003 device. It would have run for a minute then decided its batteries were critically low.” – He added."
This may have been true with early, third-party memory add-ons (for example, the iPAQ 3630 with an additional 32M RAM), but not with today's high-end 128M RAM PDA's.
For example, the Pocket Loox 720 (a 128M RAM device) only consumes some 100 mAh a day when suspended (this has been reported by several PL720 users). This means you can leave it unattended for even 2 weeks.
