i guess thats true when the 3rd party applications actually are more useful than the built in ones - of course you'll use more battery! are you sure it was a real handspring letter - the use of 'suck power' seems very .. um.. childish from a newsletter point of view. the statement is a bunch of bullocks anyhow - hacks can drain power, but, only if they are intercepting API's like EvtGetEvent() - drivers that use the serial port can also drain battery, but, these are normally for 3rd party 'add-on' hardware, not software :) --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
