Email access issuess can cause short iPhone battery life
Authored by: asmeurer on Jul 20, '09 10:17:24AM

I have an iPod touch, and I've found that being in areas where there are wifi networks that go in and out of range can quickly drain the iPod's battery, even if I am not using it. This is especially true if the iPod is downloading something in the background, such as application updates. The solution: turn off wifi when you are not using the device. Wifi is on the top of the preferences, and I have Preferences on the bottom bar where it is always available, so it only takes about 5 seconds to turn it on of off.

It's the exact same thing if you are roaming around with a laptop.
