- grinich 17y agoYep. Hardware decoding for H.264. The radio (3G, Edge, or GPS) is the number one battery killer.

- grinich 17y agoI assume you're talking about the backlight. I don't have hard numbers, but my experience says yes. However, it's not really in the same category. Developer's can't directly control the screen brightness, and the device is essentially unusable when the screen is off (except for the case of playing music).
