    se> Is there any form of suspend implemented?

There is a suspend key, but nothing that actually saves battery life,
no.  The problem is NetBSD cannot adjust the screen backlight.  It
sticks at whatever WinCE set it to.

    se> Can I determine the battery strength 

The i386 so-called ``apm'' style tools should work, and you also get
battery ``events'' printed to the console at 80%, 50%, 20%.  just like
WinCE.

However, it is only a distraction.  There is no real battery meter in
this hardware.  For example, unplugging the power supply and plugging
it back in will cause the meter to change from 50% to 80%, and the
percentages don't have much to do with how much battery you have
remaining.

    se> Is the touch screen available in xwindows?

yes. 

But please don't call it that---see the X manpage for a list of
acceptable names.
