Yes, killing the display and backlight will help. I have a couple of batteries I would swap out back when I was attempting to use the Zaurus as a regular PDA. I intend to just swap batteries as necessary, at least initially. I'd really like to have a single camcorder battery (as is the custom here) with a few leads coming off of it, one for the Zaurus' external DC connector, one for the Eyetop, maybe one for the USB hub, maybe a fourth for the headset if I decide to use it. I'm not really a hardware person, though; I'd have to have it put together.
