One thing I've learned is that my G1 is one of those gadgets  which,  if  you
leave  wi-fi  turn  on  and there's no wi-fi available, drains the battery in
only a few hours as it madly tries probing for wi-fi every N seconds.   So  I
try  to make sure that wi-fi is turned off except when I specifically want to
use it.  Of course, this means no auto-update of pages in  the  Browser,  but
that's  something  I always like to turn off anyway (in the few browsers that
permit turning it off).
