I was wondering if anyone knew whether it harmed the battery life of the iLiad to leave it on continuously, but connected to a wall socket.. since the battery is supposed to suffer less from more frequent partial recharging, I'm curious to know if it does in fact decrease the lifespan of the battery to just leave it connected/on 24/7 (and carry it with me when needed, obviously, but working from the 'always on' situation as the default)
