Hi, Robin, Having lived in the Bay Area for awhile in the past, I know that a commute from Berkeley to Palo Alto will be a long one. What sorts of apps are you looking for? Are you going to be reading using Braille or speech? Do you want to use a phone in conjunction with your apps, or do you want to do your work uninterrupted by phone calls? Many public transportation vehicles have WiFi these days. Some of the battery consumption considerations have a lot to do with how much you use WiFi and Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be used with Braille displays and with phone calls. So there are a lot of factors which go into battery life.
Any smart phone is going to be a battery hog. As for transportation apps, (sorry; I may not have been clear about your questions, so I hope this info is relevant), I use HopStop. See if the local public transportation agency has their own app for you to use, i.e. AC transit or Samtrans or any other relevant agency.
