So I'll ask two simple questions:

1. Have you actually used the current version (2.0-3.0 did have issues here, 3.2 fixed many/most of them)?

2. Can you share your actual experience and how you determined that it was PocketPlus and not some other application?

Since version 3.2 came out, I have seen absolutely no significant battery drain. And even 3.0 was very good on that front most of the time (occasional issues, but nothing major) for most hardware.

I can't really blame him for asking the question, even without providing hard proof that SPB PocketPlus was the culprit.

I will admit that I have not tried the new version, but I know that on previous versions on previous PPC devices, SPB PP did cause battery and memory problems, and sluggish performance for me. My proof is that every time I un-installed it, the problems went away. I have been on the boards for quite some time and an ever longer PPC user and I recall many posts in the PPC threads from users having the same experience. Since PP does so much within the PPC OS, it would make sense that it might cause some noticeable drain in battery life and performance.

That being said, I am a fan SPB's products and never had any issues with any of their other programs. Also, I am more than willing to give it a go on my Tilt. I think with the improvements that you have seen in the software and the beefy specs of the Tilt it may be a winner for me now too.

I'll get it and report back.
