Can we stop the FUD?
First, how is leaving a battery-intensive service on Android different from leaving a battery-intensive background task on iPhone? (The Flickr photo upload example)

Concrete example: leave Google Maps running logged into Latitude and it will merrily talk on the network by itself.
