well if i decide to go that route the wifi radio in general isnt working right now so i would still have a phone that has no wifi :\... and also i dont always have my sync cable with me i.e. visiting a friends house or for just some random occasion. but yes it would definitely use much less power
... my completely uneducated guess is that the program may have tweaked something in the registry that disabled my wifi radio... it doesnt even show up in manage wireless connections all i get is phone and bluetooth off/on :P....
