I was surprised when I found watching a movie uses very little battery. Anybody else notice this?

Joys of hardware decoding.

On another note, here's my latest 2 day run. I just watched a youtube vid and emailed myself this screenshot. It's still chugging along.

My settings as per normal are as follows:

WiFi, Location Services & 3G all on but BT & Push off. Auto brightness at 45%.

...and usage pattern as per normal:

Email fetching/sending, web browsing (keep up with wimbledon), App store downloads (2 updates), iPod use (about 2 hrs), Youtube use (2 subscription vids), regular misc apps use (weather, stocks, notes, Facebook etc), few minutes of calls and about 20 texts per day. No extensive GPS/Maps use (just searched for a nearest nandos thats it) nor gaming as far as i can remember.

This is how i usually use the phone on a day to day basis but sometimes certain apps like GPS/Mapping/Gaming play bigger roles

....and yes i'm usually on Wi-Fi and rarely rely on 3G. London has good Wi-Fi coverage.
