touch screens are eating more battery than normal ones, that's the connection.
What I meant to say was that battery technology did not evolve as fast as handheld technology, they need to improve the battery's energy density in order to provide decent battery life for modern devices.

it's not THAT bad, my battery lasts for 8 hours no matter how hard I try to drain it (3g, wi-fi, connected to IM server, twitter updating every 30 minutes etc.)

I have my old dumb phone for these cases but if I turn data connection off I think I can get 3 days of battery life on my Galaxy, you don't need real time email when your out in the nature, do you?
