Not sure if media player is the best choice, since playing a video is similar to a game and I guess that most of the battery power goes into decoding and displaying the video not the surrounding gui for play buttons and the like.
I would rather see how they fare with a classic GUI like a text or spreadsheet editor. Maybe for simplicity sake a calculator or an IRC client, then you just have to join an active channel and let it run for a while.
- bscphil 6y ago... you're 100% right, I meant to say music player. Basically the idea is to have something that does have to run in the background constantly, with some updating UI elements (e.g. position slider), but doesn't use too much battery on its own. The issue with a text editor is that unless you have some automated way of entering text it may be hard to compare the two. IRC is maybe not a bad idea.
