> Hm. If computing power and efficiency are rising at similar rates, does this put our increase in battery life on a pretty flat line?

I've suspected this for a while. Every time computing efficiency increases, our lust for more powerful mobile devices increases by an equal measure. Battery life may even begin to decline now with all of these dual core phones being rushed out without much regards to power consumption.
