Well I may be slightly digressing... although it's related with the
question "is g-p-m feature par with battstat?".
I'd say "no". At least when battery power rate is not valid.

Which seems to be my case as a power rate of 7.2mW seems impossible
for a Tablet PC. That may explain why g-p-m does not provide an
estimation.
Other than the power rate, my battery seems to provide the other
required info such as the charge.
Interestingly, g-p-m does not seem to record any charge/discharge history.

Cheers,
