Androinica: ‘Google Blames Android Battery Woes on User Practices and Poorly-Designed Background Apps’

Andrew Kameka:

When asked about Android’s weak battery life at the Google Zeitgeist forum, Google co-founder Larry Page said that if anyone is not getting a full day’s worth of battery, there’s “something wrong.” Page then went on to suggest it’s probably user habits and third-party apps causing battery woes. “When there is software running in the background, that just sort of exhausts the battery quickly,” said Page.

Update: Fireballed. (Guess which CMS it’s running?) Here it is in Google’s cache.
