Filed under: Gaming, HandheldsWe're not sure which part of "you can buy a new, larger battery from Sony to extend your gaming time" John Koller didn't mean, but evidently we (read: the world) had it all wrong. In a recent posting from the Director, he "clarifies" things by asserting that "the new PSP will have equivalent battery life to the current PSP, about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5 hours ...

Filed under: Sony PSP You gotta tip your hat to modern medicine. It just five short days the diagnosis of PSP Brite's battery life has gone from dim to, um, serviceable. PSP hardware marketing director John Koller dropped his latest prognosis on PlayStation.Blog today, assuring all that his original evaluation was incorrect. "The new PSP will have equivalent battery life to the current PSP," Koller writes. He estimates: 4-6 hours for games 4-5 hours for ...

Filed under: Gaming According to a GameSpot interview with Sony's US director of hardware marketing John Koller, that new PSP-3000 screen may look a bit better... but it's going to cost you about 20 minutes of battery life. Luckily for you gamers with endless pockets out there, Koller assures that minor wrinkle will be offset because, "We're going to have the extended life battery that's still available for consumers, so we're still going to get ...

富士通甫推出不久的LifeBook U2010，改採Intel Atom，續航力應該相當不錯，日本有人測試U2010（日本型號Loox U820）後，搭配上長效電池，使用時間竟然衝上11小時。只是，先別太驚訝，因為測試者並沒有交代是全速運轉還是在一般模式下使用，也沒交代其他使用時的條件與環境，不過，即使這11小時打個5折，5.5個小時的續航力也是很夠用的說。

Filed under: Handhelds, Laptops Fujitsu's cute-as-a-button U2010 (or U820, for you USers) was shown off over in Japan at a company event, and while most of the specifications were already hammered out, one particular tidbit at AkihabaraNews took us by surprise. With seemingly every other netbook out there getting blasted for lackluster battery life, the U2010 will reportedly support an extended cell that offers up 11.1 hours of run time. We've no idea if that's ...

Laptop users love batteries that last longer. At least those laptop users who use their laptop on the road, those desktop replacement laptops are usually to big and heavy to be carried around anyway. One of the best ways to extend battery life is to reduce the cpu frequency of the laptop. That’s usually not a problem unless the applications used demand lots of cpu power. That’s not the case when surfing the Internet, creating ...

In the years before iPhone, my smartphones had replaceable batteries and I usually carried a spare, especially on trips. Inexplicably, the iPhone doesn’t afford this “luxury” — the battery is not user-replaceable and when it’s dead, it’s dead. If you don’t have a charger handy, you are out of luck. This can be particularly frustrating if you are taking a long flight, want to watch a movie on your iPhone’s expansive screen, and still have ...

The Asus Eee PC lineup gets decent, if not spectacular battery life right now. Depending on which model you buy and what battery comes with it, you could see anywhere from 2 to 6 hours of battery life. But that’s not enough for some people, and DigiTimes says Asus has plans to offer new features including “whole-day” battery life. Now, let’s be clear. That could mean any number of things.

With the new GPS receiver and 3G radio sucking the life out of your iPhone 3G's battery like there's no tomorrow, you'll likely have noticed shorter battery life compared with the first-generation iPhone. If the iPhone 3G is your first foray in to the world of Apple phoning, then just accept that whatever battery life you manage to get is normal. But, just because you have faster data speeds (enabling faster web-surfing) and real-deal GPS ...

iPhone 3G 的闪耀的显示屏、3G 网络和 GPS 都非常棒，不过代价是 iPhone 3G 的电池寿命已经大大缩短。尽管相对于其他 3G 手机，iPhone 3G 的电池寿命或许表现还不错。但你仍需要省着点，否则可能在你最需要的时候它没电了。 下面有十招教你延长 iPhone 3G 的电池寿命： 一、调低显示屏亮度 新的 iPhone 3G 的显示屏默认的亮度比第一代更亮，但是如果你想省点电的话，也没必要使用那么高的亮度，根据自己的需要调低一点。（在设置→ 亮度中调整） 二、关闭 Wi-Fi 和 Wi-Fi 网络探测 如果你不是每隔几分钟就要用一次网络的话，一般可以关闭 Wi-Fi 和 Wi-Fi 网络探测。Wi-Fi 比 EDGE 或 3G 网络都要更省电，但是如果你不常用的话，关闭也能够帮助你节省电量。（在设置→ Wi-Fi 中设置；蓝牙也是一样） 三、不用 3G 时就关闭 我希望这一项功能 iPhone 能够帮我自动完成，当我不在电脑附近的时候，我会使用 3G 网络浏览网页、YouTube 、访问 App Store，或者接一些重要的电话，其他的所有功能，比如电邮、天气查询、Twitter 等我都使用 EDGE 网络。（在设置→ 常规→ 网络 中设置） 四、游戏时关闭振动 很明显，如果你经常玩游戏时开启振动效果，会浪费你很多的电量。在不是很必要的时候，可以关闭振动效果。 五、少用 A-GPS 跟踪 在你找到方向之后，GPS 跟踪实际上没有太大价值，因为 iPhone 上没有建议路线规划（turn-by-turn）驾驶导航模式。但是 GPS 跟踪却很耗电。如果你已经在地图上找到了你要去的地方和方向，就可以退出地图了。如果你忘记了，可以再看一下地图。 六、通过 iTunes 购买音乐和应用 你可以通过 iPhone 内置的 Wi-Fi ...
