Not that I'm aware of. It might be possible for a third party
application to enable this but I haven't yet figured out the nuances
of what can and can't be changed without replacing the whole system.

That seems a little quick but the G1 has fairly poor battery life to
begin with, especially if you're making a lot of data connections.
Turning off GPS and WiFi and logging out of IM might extend your
battery life. Not a great solution, especially since these currently
have to be turned on and off manually. Perhaps a battery-minder app or
an extended-life battery is in the G1's future.

Marketplace (I know, not very many apps there either)
