Back when Apple re-introduced Push Notification at the iPhone 3.0 Sneak Preview Event, Scott Forstall claimed that, unlike background multitasking that could cause an 80% drop in battery life, Push Notification would only cause a 20% drop.

Should be 20% less.

If you're logged out then there's no reason you would, because you wouldnt be appearing online for any of your contacts.

It's a lot, not alot. Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

It would also be "Do notifications..." and not "Does notifications..."

I'd say it does, I keep mine turned off, since I have no reasons for it.

Edit: if I'm losing 20% with notifications, I wonder how much battery life I'd lose if the thing had true multitasking?

The battery is actually a real let down on the iPhone, all this breakthrough in processors and stuff surely there have to some breakthroughs with batteries soon.

Thanks for the corrections

Hope the new update (3.1) will give a boost to the battery life & hopefully it comes with a jailbreak by the dev. team.
