What can I do to maximize the battery charge on my iPhone?

I understand that different settings might affect how long the battery lasts. Are there some good rules of thumb that could guide how I use this phone under different conditions. For instance, the MacBook has different settings (e.g. Better Performance, Better Energy Savings), and I even have a custom setting that dims my screen to be barely visible for those times when I need to eek out every last minute of my battery life. It doesn't seem like there is an equivalent on the iPhone, or am I missing something?

I thought it was, but I'll double check tonight to be sure.

Hear hear! I've been wanting to use S3 for a variety of storage needs and would love to use my favorite FTP program for this. Please, please, please Panic!

My iPhone battery drains too much overnight!

My battery was at least 50% full when I went to bed. I woke up 8 hours later (yes I slept in!) and the battery was almost dead. Is this because it's on wifi? Obviously I wasn't using it while I was sleeping. Is there a trick to maximizing the battery life?

Any suggestions or code examples for this would be much appreciated!

They make the restocking fee clear when you buy it. Some people will accuse Apple of being vultures by charging the fee but you really can't blame them. There were so many scalpers buying these things and trying to sell them on ebay that they have to enforce this to create some monetary disincentive. Note they also had plenty of iPhones between their various stores--another key way to fight the scalpers.

From what I heard there were a lot of disappointed scalpers as they realized they weren't able to sell their iphones for a markup. Then was this woman, who has to be seen to be believed:

I have a feeling there may be some noticeable changes to the satisfactometer (emoticons) in very short order.

I've heard that they start with the contributing writers and editors from within the O'Reilly fold and then move outward from there. They sprinkle the event with gurus and futurists. You must fall into this latter category.

Won't the iPhone's beautiful screen get all scratched up?

If it's anything like the iPod screen it won't last the afternoon in my pocket, what with keys and coins and other flotsam that ends up in there. (On the other hand, I've had Nokia phones with big screens that were suitably scratch-proof)

How do I get the Skitch pane to toggle between the transparent and non-transparent effect?

I accidentally made it transparent while doing something. Then, somehow, it switched back. I'm just not sure how. It's a cool effect--I just want to be able to control it!

You guys should make Wordpress and Typepad plugins!

It would be great to be able to search/add promo tracks right from my blog editor interface.

Typing "recall username" should return @username's last 5 twitters in IM or txt

Just a little easter egg for us power users.

Tip from Tantek: Less than, greater than chars ('<' , '>') cost 4 characters not 1

That's because HTML converts these to four character combos: < and >
