Thanks,

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

I, personally would avoid Fring like the plague. I was not able to remove it completely from my winmo device without using my backup to restore it to what it was before and it was killing my battery,

The evidence against Fring is stacking up, might have to throw the book at it. Make an example. The long arm of the law is here and we ain't playing around! No more apps running wild!! No more having there way with our screen's sleep and background services!!! NO MORE I SAY!!!!
