IMHO, the 340MB Microdrive is not worth the power consumption and fragility. Check out this post (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6355) about using the Microdrive in Dells...

I'd go with the CF card... microdrives drain the battery much faster. I know this from trying both the CF card and a Microdrive on my digicam. I'd guess that it'd drain more as well on a PPC.
