I read a forum posting (here) which provided the steps to disable the cell phone service and telephony for the Nook Color. This, ostensibly, should help the life of the battery.

So, it seems to me that doing this for the touch seems like a good idea. But, my question is, am I just being paranoid? I'm new to the whole android thing.

If I'm not being paranoid, are there other steps that can be taken to lengthen battery life?

This is the code I'm using to disable the Phone and Telephony services:

Code:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD
adb reboot
