Is it true that by having a live wallpaper eats your battery more?

Anyway, i like the "Shake them All" live wallpaper available in the market. The androids are customizable having interaction with the gravity(accelerometer) so that they fall/flip side to side depending on how you move your phone, they can also be customized to on sound sensitivity. I've customized and downloaded Spongebob, works great!! haha... brings out the kid in me!

Some say it does, some say it doesn't, but it doesn't for me anyway. Besides, the live wallpaper is only on when you are on your home screen with the backlight on, but if you are not on the home screen or if the backlight is off, the live wallpaper is not running so it doesn't eat battery.

well from my experience, that thing with the live wallpapers, is just for showing to your friend that your phone is a smart one....but in fact his phone is the smartest....thinking on your battery life...in other words, i made a quick research...wich is like this:
with my live wallpaper on, my battery life it was something about 20 hours top
without a live wallpaper , i've unpluged my charger today at 07.00 am local timne, now is 10.00 pm , i have 82% remaining, and is tellin me that i still have battery for 29.29 hours..that mean a full day and something extra...wich is a very big plus...

now you can do the math...

respect!

No market? Are you on an Asian version? Someone in another post was talking about how they had no market but chinese apps on it. You could flash it to world generic or is there a US version out yet?
