Might be a fluke or a defective battery. I'll have to see how things play out over time. I'm using it more than I did my TP2, but not enough to cause the kind of battery life I'm seeing.

Off the charger at 7:30AM, battery was almost dead at 2PM. Again, I can't say that is typical so take it with a grain of salt.
Thanks, very helpful. In one of the demo videos I saw on Engadget, the unit looked perilously low on battery and it was about 2:30- 3pm on the device. I assumed that they started out at about 8am or so, so that matches up with you.

Are you running friendstream? I've read that it tends to soak up more juice than the standard FB or Twitter apps.

I've still got a week or so until I get mine. I'll be throwing something up on connect-utb after I get a few days under my belt - will be focusing hard on battery life. Most reviews I've seen so far don't go into power details.
