In short, no, nand does not give better battery life at this time. On the nand, we only have the kernel and initrd while the modules, ext2, and rootfs are all still on the SD card.

Theoretically, because you aren't constantly using the SD interface, nand should give slightly better battery life than haret if/when everything is functioning properly. The problem is the screen and other drivers are causing more power problems than you lose to the sd interface, so until those are taken care of, it won't really matter.

Great questions, and thanks for asking them. I'll get some of this in the FAQ
