microdrive and battery life
I just got a magicstor 2.2 gb. I noticed that my battery was running down rather quickly, and I ran a test. Although not statistically sound, my data indicates that the microdrive sucked the life from my battery. I can reasonably expect that with the MD, I will get about 7 hours of standby with no radios, and the backlight on minimum, compared to a Lexar 64 Meg card and the same conditions getting 16 hours, and no card at 18. I am sending the magicstor back. Can anyone else relay thier experience with microdrives or bigger flash cards. Leave SD out of it. I want more storage, and I want to make a more educated buying decision this time. I am using a 2755 Ipaq, and checking the standby time on the battery\power options.
