Unless the notifications and screen can be turned off in software, this charger isn't the greatest for the tablet.

Hopefully the battery I ordered will take care of the duty cycle. We'll see.

At that rate, it's quite possible the screen and sound wind up draining more than it charges.

You can set the screen delay as low as 1 second with gconftool, but then the screen will just keep time with the sound; not much improvement.
