Pedestrian mode. [HP]

What a big mistake to disable Pedestrian mode!
Given that the device has the ability to lock the screen and to diable the snap to read feature, this unit is a natural for city/country walking.
The only draw back is the limited battery life. However, since cheap spare batteries are available on the Internet for $15 if I rememeber right, this is no real limitation. I guess when I get more familiar, i will have to do the hack to restore this. I just wish HP will rush to make the Device Recovery Pack available on their website.
This device uis nice and compact. Significantly smaller than the TT 920 (which is not that big in the first place), the HP is quite an attractive unit, though the TT is a bit prettier.

However, why does the box say that there is a coint type NiHydride battery in the unit, along with the Li-Ion battery?
I thought this was to protect data during battery swaps???
Funny thing about the box...the dominant colour is RED. For me, HP traditionally was BLUE. This device must be more Compaq than HP in its DNA. LoL
the coin could be just preserving certain critical memory/data and protect that info from the hard reset.
Have you tried to change batteries unconnected and verify that all settings are lost?
The coin is in effect.
That means that the unit can go on 6 hour hikes when Ped mode is restored. Just hot swap batteries when they run out.
One point for the iPaq.
BTW, since I dont have viable maps yet, i am limited in my testing.
