Has anyone else notice increased performance of their battery? I have 22hours of standby and 8 hours and 21 minutes of usage and my battery is half full!! Awesome!

my battery doesn't seem to last as long but that could be because I'm constantly using it for either email, web browsing, music or video :)

same here...
 
My battery was about 50%...

after an early 7:00am start with the use of my Google Maps for about 1 1/2 hours, I made 2 forty-minute phone calls, made and received about 20 calls, sent at least 50 text messages with responses via email/text/phone call, constantly adding WebApps, searching AppleWebApps, searching for WiFi signals "all-day" while at Macworld, listen to my music and demonstrate "Star Wars Episode IV - "A New Hope" to several interested vendors and iPhone owners, checking emails on the half-hour, and looking for a particular restaurant in Japantown in San Francisco, and checking my "Location" with the new "Replace Pin" TOY on my iPhone... and more surfing on the web until about 10:00pm tonight. :cool:
 
Yeh I've found that my battery life has definitely increased with the new update.

Mine hardly lasted any time at all when mine was on 1.1.2 but for some reason my mates lasted loads longer, but now it seems mine has gotten up to scratch :D
 
I used mine heavily today and the battery took a very long time to show any reduction in the meter. I was rather surprised at that.
 
im still on 1.1.1 and ive gotten a consistent 2-3 days standby with 10-15 hours usage.

i think it mainly has to do with your charging methods.
 
I have noticed an appapernt loss in battery life but not an actual loss. I run it down to almost dead and then it sits there for a bit. When I plug the dang thin g in it charges back to full in about half an hour and is ready for another usage.
