I'll buy the number if people start reporting that runtime with heavy usage. Until then I don't really believe that a device as interactive as that, regardless of being an A8 class device, will last under heavy utilization for 38 hours. I'd sooner believe 24, and in either case a significant portion of time has the device completely idle.

The A4 is not significantly different from most other CPUs, and since it's an Apple-only chip we won't know for a long time what's missing from it. I'd be shocked if it was drastically different from a standard Samsung SoC and the CPU's power consumption is easily managed with proper profiling of applications.
