HP Touchpad battery life under Android

[buzz86us]

What kind of battery life is everyone getting on the touchpad running android at stock while doing common tasks? Please sound off.

Playing with it for about 45 minutes this morning after a full night of charging reduced it to about 93%. So from that I would imagine it would get 8-10 hours of battery life. That was just browsing and installing apps, however--I wasn't listening to music, streaming video, or playing games. So I'd have to do more testing. Maybe to a Hulu marathon to catch up on my Community backlog and see how it fares.

Mine on v2, is about 6-8%/hr doing normal stuff. Couldn't be happier.

Mine's been on for 11 hours and has had bluetooth and WiFi on for most of the time and running maps!
Right now showing 48% remaining.

Last week, I was sitting in a car, for most of a day, waiting on someone at a doctors office,
I played videos and games, I got maybe 5 hours of use on a full charge, but the video payers
I have tried are using software and not hardware to play videos, I think the video drivers
are unfinished, so that is going to eat up more battery from what I understand, I also had
Airplane mode on, WiFi off, and Bluetooth off, and a full charge "might" last overnight with
the touchpad just sitting there not being used.

A few things I have learned, one is, that WiFi wants to stay on, so you can use some WiFi
widgets or a WiFi sleep App to turn it off, and that there is an "experimental" S.O.D fix, and
it's working for me, its over at rootzwiki called "Working Sod Fix From Dalingrin" my battery
life has been greatly improved, but it does not seem to fix the video payers using software
instead of hardware, but my battery stays charged overnight and no more S.O.D
