Hi Tim and others,
There are a number of issues here, and I promised I'd look into this. It
turned out to be complicated, and I don't have the full answer yet.
There were a number of known software issues in GTA01 which caused the
battery to drain more rapidly than intended. Some of these have been
solved, and work continues on the rest.
We are testing power consumption on GTA02 extensively right now to make
sure there are no unknown hardware issues affecting power consumption.
I expect that battery life will be longer in GTA02 than GTA01, but we
don't have the definitive numbers yet.
If anyone is curious, much of the discussion on this topic is taking
place on the kernel mailing list.
I will continue to research this and will report my findings as I learn
them.
Regards,
Michael

Have we seen any concrete results on what the battery life will be like
in the GTA02 yet? I suppose we won't get that until it's actually in
the hands of developers.

Oh. That's... really disappointing. The battery life is already
unusable, and the faster processor and wifi will just make this even
worse.
