You could probably watch CPU usage as a pretty good indicator. I've noticed just having some applications in the foreground (like the browser on a complicated webpage) will shoot the CPU usage way up. IIRC, one of the Nokia engineers stated that apps are basically stopped (like hitting Ctrl+Z in bash) when they are minimized, and resumed when they're foregrounded. I might have made this up, but based on the CPU monitor it certainly would appear that something like that is going on. --Paul On 8/16/07, Michael Thompson <michaelnt at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > The battery life of the N800 seems to depend a lot on the applications > that are running, I guess in particular when it is idling.
