After the PR1.1 OTA update my battery life, especially with WiFi was down to under 6hrs on standby.
Here are some of the issues I was having when I update OTA to this latest release.:-
Rapid Battery drain
Video not playing
Music player taking ages to play track in shuffle mode.
Media player not finding any media
Picture viewer fragmenting picture
Device becomming slow and laggy
impromtu re-boots
and many more minor irritations...

I was beginning to dispair as the device was worse than the day in early december that i bought it. However excellent after advice on here I went to a re-flash.

Wow, what a difference. Fast, no issues and battery seems to last for ages, even on wifi.

Was a bit of hassle to re-flash as I could not get it to work with Win 7 64. It worked on Win 7 32 fine, the whole process including restore of data and apps was no more than 30mins.

Well worth giving it a go.
Reflash was not as daunting as I thought. So I would give it a try, but make sure you back up first.

Here is the flashing guide I used.
