</div>Hmm, that's a pretty strong statement.<br>
At Openmoko we spent _a lot_ of money combined to get this CC thing to work.<br>
The theory was that you have it in most notebook batteries so it's 'a good<br>
thing to have'.<br>
But if it's not actually used, then it would be one of those many things<br>
we did that should have been better thought through.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>No, I think it was a very good decision. Not only low-level programmers need it, but also normal* users who want to know how long the battery lasts with certain configurations. I know for example that with gsm on it lasts about 50h in suspend, with gsm off about 100h, and with gps on about 8h without suspend, etc. And I could estimate this accurately overnight, and not by waiting 4 days.<br>
<br>On the other hand, I have absolutely no idea how long my motorola battery lasts. It usually shows full for a few days and then drops really quickly.<br><br>*if you can call FR users normal users<br></div></div>
