Sort of like most new cameras (both digital and otherwise) but we carry 
them. I have a Palm Pilot and it's small enough that it's fairly easy to 
protect. Anyone planning to use one on the trail should get a Palm III 
series not the Palm V series. The III models use ordinary AAA batteries. In 
ordinary use the batteries will last 2-3 months. The V model recharges 
through the cradle when you are synchronizing it with your desktop 
computer. It could go dead on an extended hike.
