    Battery killer?

    I've been running qTweeter for a while now, which runs in the background, and I haven't noticed that much of a difference in terms of battery life.

    Even if you don't have a jailbreaked device and use your phone more or less constantly you are still faced with having to charge it quite often. By jailbreaking it and running additional background processes or using Apps with PUSH won't really make a difference. On the contrary, it rather enchances the experience.

    Yeah, I'm from a different perception though :) I'm on a jailbreaked 2G, and notifications/PUSH or even backgrounder drains battery on mine. But, it's time to go for the 3GS anyway.

    Ping refuses to connect btw. Odd problem.

    Yeah it's still fairly buggy. Quite strange that it passed approval as it I read it barely works at all if you use any other language than English and/or don't have a 3G/3GS iPhone.

    Good start in the right direction to slay the ridiculously overpriced SMS dragon.
