They didn't change the system to something relatively power hungry like Android. So does the color screen use more? Will the battery last even longer in black&racist mode?
Assuming the 2nd gen of kaleido is also darker than a normal BW screen it would pretty much require the backlight to be on constantly, which would drain more battery. Perhaps that could be the reason?
