Mine seemed to stay connected today just fine on campus. And at home it connects up clear side of the house up a floor from the router no problems.

One right, one wrong - but who is right and who is wrong? Has anyone done testing to see? I remember reading somewhere that someone did it over night and WiFi used a little bit less than the cell network. BUT I can not find any actual information on statistics so at this point it is all conjecture. Hopefully someone can come along and answer this one way or the other for those of us looking for better battery life for a day.
