Re: Battery
With Lithium-Ions, fully discharging them is actually generally bad for them. When they're new you do want to charge them fully before first use, and you'll get maximum life after the first few full discharge/re-charge cycles, but after that you don't want to get them below 20-30% if you can help it. Constantly draining them fully WILL cut down on their lives. But if you can help it, you also don't want to constantly charge them over and over again. They have a limited number of charge cycles (usually around 500) before they start to lose life. So plugging it in and unplugging it over and over throughout the day cuts into this heavily. That's hard, though, when even syncing the phone charges it, and when the battery life is as bad as it is on these models.
