Is there any software that will tell you an estimated time till your battery is dead kinda like how windows does on a laptop?

You mean how Windows lies to you on your laptop? LOL.

I have not seen an app that does what you asked for, though that is not to say that it does not exist.

LOL, I burst out laughing at that (thinking of the optimistic readout in my Asus EeePC 1000)

Try the Uptime Meter plugin from this site. Lots of other good apps as well:

phonealarm does, but it requires you enter the stock call/standby battery life expectancy first, which is quoted at 3.8 hours talk (225 minutes) and unknown standby.
