A program to see what is eatting my battery
 
I wonder if its possible to see what application is using the most battery power by counting how much processor cycle and disk I/O to determine the amount of power each application (including the sub process) is using?

Well, apps like conky and htop, or typing top in terminal will give you a list of what is sucking your processor, and therefore battery...

you can go into xterminal and type in "top" command. that would give you somewhat info your looking to

i tried conkey and top / htop

but those are only CPU usage, i don't think the info also include the power usage on disk I/O. it would be nice if for instance in the conkey or top i can end the process directly by tabbing on the N900 screen, to make things easier to use.
