Well, this is cool. Helmi_c, as usual, is the best.

Don't really care about the bells and whistles (I run a pretty lean Apache myself) but if this can improve the battery life even more than AKU3.5, I'm all for it. My "early upgrade" window with Alltel starts in a few weeks and I had pretty much decided to move on to the PPC-6800 (Mogul for you Sprint folks) when the time came due to the fact that my good ol' 2 year old Apache is really showing its age hardware wise (battery cover won't stay on, serious wear marks on the touchscreen, and I think I need a new battery as it doesn't hold a charge like it used to).

Now, if this upgrade brings the Apache up to the 6800/Mogul battery life-wise (hearing reports of 2-3 days between charges) I just may pony up for a new 1500mA/h battery for my Apache and ditch the big 2600mA/h one I have now, which will allow me to go back to the standard battery cover. Then, I can live with the screen wear and all and get some more life out of Old Faithful.

BTW: Nice job on the new site, Mike!
