Okay, I have other to say lol. I had it on charge all day at work today. I left at 4:30 I listened to music, and looked on the internet, little bit of LiveSearch for about 30 min while on the bus. I got home right around 6. From then I turned on WiFI and Opened all the programs I could (could only get it down to about 85mb free LOL) I was surfing the web with 3 tabs in opera, messing with the youtube program, windows live, music. The works. It just died now at about 9:20. So it lasted 3 Solid hrs of INTENSE use.


I did notice, however, that the battery went from 10 bars to 2 bars quickly (round 7pm) then for the next 2hrs it stayed there. Then went to the critical alarms, and then finally shut down. I took the battery out held the power button for a couple seconds and then put it back together. Charging now.

I noticed last night it got really hot. This was during Intense use, AND charging. When i was testing the battery tonight, it did not get nearly as hot.

I think I read somewhere that these devices have a "learning curve" to begin accurately displaying the battery level. So it may low, but really be at half or more charge. I'm going to try and do this again tomorrow and see how well it does at reporting battery after that.
