The separate batteries are a plus. Admittedly, it isn't that much of a factor when runtime is a year, but I want a device whose batteries I can swap with standard, over-the-counter replacements. That way, I don't watch my PDA's charge slowly sink to nothing, wondering which will happen first: the plane lands and I get to an outlet, or I restore from backup. I did bring the backup, didn't I? Toss a couple of AAAs in the briefcase, and I'm good.
