The battery life in the Nokia 770 is just about double if you go into offline mode and turn off the WiFi and Bluetooth radios -- and don't set the screen brightness all the way up.

That is, Nokia promises 3 hours' browsing, typically delivers 4 (at least new), and offline use tops 6 hours.

II'm sure the UMPC's will benefit similarly if you read an e-book from Flash memory and not off the hard drive.

Also, I'm talking continuous use, which won't be the case very often. On-off, on-off is much more typical.
