Free mobile apps which use third-party services to display advertising consume considerably more battery life, a new study suggests.
Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana, USA, used a special tool to monitor energy use by several apps on Android and Windows Mobile handsets. Due to restrictions built into Apple’s mobile operating system, the team was unable to run tests on the iPhone.
Findings suggested that in one case 75% of an app’s energy consumption was spent on powering advertisements.

Today, Apple posted two pages — one dedicated to the iPod and one to the iPhone — to help users get the most from their battery.
Battery life span is a sensitive issue for iPhone and iPod Touch users. We covered this subject in past articles, including our tips – which are as relevant today as they were a year ago, when we wrote them – and Steve Wozniak’s solution to solve the poor battery life problem.

BatteryLife is a new utility available for free in the AppStore. This is an application through which you can monitor the status of your battery percentage. In other words, with BatteryLife you will have complete data regarding the autonomy of your iPhone / iTouch.
When you load the app , you can see:
charging level ( Level )
day and time of last verification (Last Check)
the battery level that refers to the time that you used the application (Last Level)
the period, expressed in hours and minutes, during which your device is connected to an energy source while the application was launched
an LED light show:
green when the battery is fully charged;
orange when the battery is being charged;
red when the device is not connected to the charger.
In the settings panel you can decide whether to show or hide any of this information.
BatteryLife is compatible with iPhone and iTouch and it requires firmware 3.0
Everybody is complaining about the battery life on iPhone 3G. Well there are a couple of things you can do to save your battery life. This will not have a strict order and some of them tips might not suit you.
Once per week try to use all the battery life of your iPhone/iPod Touch and than charge it 100%. By doing this you will reset your battery. The more you recharge your device, without letting the battery die completely, the lower your ‘battery capacity’ is.
If you got a jailbreaked device, you know how fast your battery life is sucked . One of the reasons is SSH. The SSH process is running in the background when any network activity is available. You can turn this off with BossPreff or SBSettings.
Do you have WiFi? Great thing this WiFi huh? Have you noticed how much battery life this sucks, especially when paired with browsing the web? Well when not used or you are out of its reach, you can turn it off. If WiFi is on, and your not in a hotspot, it will constantly search for networks in background, and your loosing battery life for nothing.
Speaking of WiFi…. when you use WiFi turn EDGE and 3G off. ( If you want to use 3G, you NEED TO HAVE EDGE ON . 3G will not work if EDGE is not on )
Dim the screen dudes. Really who stands the 100% brightness on the 3G? I really cant , it hurts my eyes. And if you got it set to 100% this beautiful screen will suck the battery life like crazy.
Turn off Auto-Brightness . Well , first of all this is annoying ( to me ), and if off it will not only stop increasing the brightness level, it will also use less resources ( nothing to monitor )
You might also want to set Auto-Lock to 1 min. The more your screen in on ( if not used ), the more battery its using.
Do you like your sound effects? Some of them are cool, but if you don’t want to turn them off, at least set them to either Speaker or Headphones. By default sound effects are set to both.
You might also want to turn off EQ. If EQ is off, less resources used to monitor .
Try to check your emails less. When emails is checked there is network activity.
Again, this has no particular order and some of them ( or most of them ) might not suit you. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TO RESET YOUR BATTERY ( see bullet-point 1 ). This is a must, and its not only for iPhone or iPod Touch. The other tips or hints are optional.
