Yes. But I slept at 20% and woke up at 18% after 8 hours. It's probably more of some of the multitasking apps that suck battery.
Same issue here. Whenever Wifi is on, the battery is murdered. If i turn WIfi off, it works. i wish it was like my first generation ipod that would actually disconnect and where you could actually keep push notifications on.
Just turn your WiFi off when you're not using your iPod. I do it out of force of habit ever since I got my 2nd gen. Pretty annoying if you're not used to doing it, and I'm not sure why Apple implemented it. Are you honestly going to be staring at your iPod for hours without using it, waiting for a push notification?
The only reason I can think of why Apple may have put this in is for radio apps. If you shut the screen off, WiFi will remain on and the app will still be able to stream music without the WiFi shutting down.
And it's not the iPod touch 4 specifically that's getting this "WiFi always on" thing, it's any device that updated to iOS4.

You have an app keeping it on. Perhaps Skype. I have push Exchange enabled and I lose perhaps 3% overnight.
Nope. I always clear out running apps. It just wont disconnect from the internet and I lose >50%+ of battery life.
