Yes, the unit will go on standby. I've never tested the time it would
last (since that would completely drain the battery, perform a hard
reset, and I'd have to rebuild the PPC), but it did last at least 6
days a little while ago. Usually, if I don't use the PPC for longer
than one day, I just hook it up to a charger.

The iPAQ 2215 has power management. I would think other pocket PCs do too.

Click on Start > Settings > System > Power. This will let you view the main
and backup battery status. Clicking on Standby will let you adjust the
amount of battery time reserves for standby operation.

Hope that helps.
