Using a PDA as a MP3 player

I was looking for reviews on PDAs for use as an MP3 player. Found this one on a Toshiba e800 that reckons with the screen off you could get 8 hours of play.

The latest Nokia 6230 phone with MP3 player from a SD card costs approx EUR300 with a o2 bonus upgrade probably over EUR400 without.

I think I could be getting a basic phone and a new PocketPC.

The handheld is equipped with a removable Li-Ion battery 1320 mAh. While testing the off-line work the PDA functioned well (however, the power consumption system is not well thought-out compared to Asus models). At the maximum load (maximum highlight, 400 MHz frequency, clips at high bit-rate) the handheld has worked 2 hours 40 minutes. In the mp3 mode (playing from a SD card, display off), but at the highest frequency (400 MHz) the e800 served 8 hours. Thus the display consumes most power. A continuous Bluetooth session lasted 5 hours (an active Internet connection through a handset, periodic PC synchronization, lame highlight, Power saving mode) a good figure. In an option you can use an enhanced battery (2640 mAh) to double off-line performance (note, it will affect dimensions and weight).
