I usually get 3 days between charges and sometimes 4. I find that several things can help. Keep the bluetooth off except when you are using it. Keep the IR off. Go to Prefs and disconnect the internet if you aren't going to be using it (I don't have the email poll at all, if I want to check email I do it by hand, nothing is that urgent). Music and video can definitely suck the battery dry so if you are using the music a lot or Youtube or other video sites then you will be charging more often
