Hi,
Yes, it will drain just a little faster... Also the sound volume will go down a bit. That is the only thing that I don't like about it.
With new features like Multitasking and WiFi always staying on even when the iPod Touch is in sleep/standby mode, What is everyone's battery life like now on iPod Touch 3rd gens?
I need to know, so I can make the decision of upgrading to iOS 4 or not?
