I've read several research papers that claim that WLAN power consumption
makes the biggest jump from completely off to online, and that the
incremental power consumption between passive online (mainly receiving)
and active online (transmitting) is not nearly as large. This is why
TDMA schemes may have major advantages for power consumption, they have
more opportunity to turn the radio completely off.

Has anyone information about battery capacity/current draw and WLAN
connectivity when your presence is set to online? I would think that
only the receiver would be active and so battery life would be much
longer than when browsing. Or is it the case with the 770 that as soon
as the WLAN interface is enabled, it draws much more current, regardless
of transmission? I suppose if I had an ammeter I could measure it,
however, I don't have one.
