hopefully just the numbers ( and regarding the numbers being skewed, chk my previous post )
anyways my n900 lasts more or less the same amount of time without the widget for me.
last nite at 1145pm battery was at 14% and when i woke up at 7.30am it was 5% had the widget running.( emails on, wifi, bluetooth gps all on )

Anyways, the widget doesnt poll to get the battery info, its using a signal mechanism to where it recieves a signal when the battery level changes then it updates it on screen.

Im hopeful the qtmobility api's have taken into consideration the effect on battery, if not we will learn soon and do something abt it
