That is an odd assumption. tamanaco;354289 Wrote: > I assume that you keep your phone on at all times to receive calls.

I have not done my own objective tests, but my subjective experience is that the iPhone lasts much, much longer. 'Pippin's objective power consumption tests' (http://penguinlovesmusic.de/?p=65) with the addition of streaming music dramatically outpace anything my controller is capable of. That test is much more demanding than typical use, in which auto-lock is on, no streaming takes place, and phone and remote use is intermittent. In defence of the controller, I believe that it tends to keep the wi-fi connection active for longer than the iPhone. This is evidenced by the immediate response to track control and volume adjustment. However, I would prefer the wait of a few seconds (literally) in the name of longer battery life. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ds2021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10078 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54336 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
