So Fring keeps the screen on and/or drains battery in the background? If so, GUILTY!!!!!! Otherwise, those may just be power hungry apps, but we're specifically looking for apps that keep the screen on and run background tasks all day for no good reason, sucking our batteries dry.
I think I'll add a "Power Hungry" section to the list though
