Any Actual Numbers on Battery Life using BT vs. IR?

socpsy · 03-02-05, 01:23 PM

I've seen quite a few references to the notion that using a BT keyboard depletes the battery faster than using an IR keyboard (I assume they refer to the ppc's battery). I did a quick search of the forums and couldn't find any actual data to support this.

So, are there any actual comparisons that have been done and published comparing the battery drain of BT vs IR? (or did I just do a crappy job of searching?)

Maybe such a comparison is almost impossible to do?

I've seen data on this kind of thing in some of the reviews of the x50v. I can't find the review now, though. They gave the battery life with BT + 802.11b on vs. nothing and it was pretty significant. I don't know of anything more specific than this though.
