I have been doing some testing, but at this stage I could not give you an estimated time.
Thanks fella,

I've done a bit of testing myself and tried to maximise battery life by turning pretty much everything off (even the little wiggle you get when you press the screen), still not getting a full day.

I might look at the Proporta USB turbocharger as the 3400mAh should last two full recharges or maybe even the Solar Monkey Explorer - though with the sun as it is in the UK I'm not too hopeful of free energy to keep me going all day.
