Here's an interesting app dedicated to maximizing battery life. It's called SuperPower Battery. The app basically uses a number of variables to conserve power where it can to improve battery life.

General: Will this prolong battery life ?
Quite probably, yes, significantly! BUT, there is never a guarantee. It all depends on how you use your device, the current conditions, and how you configure SuperPower. Some options in general save a lot of battery, but may be too inconvenient for you to use (specifically 2G/3G switching), and if you still want to use them, some playing with the various options may be needed to get it to work with the least amount of inconvenience to your usage pattern.

So the question is how can we expect to stay ahead of the giants that are on our tail? Well, we need to continue to out innovate them. To put it bluntly, we’re working on a lot of crazy s*** for 2011! Excuse my French. Of course unless you prefer it. In that case, check out our French-language beta on BlackBerry.

I've not heard of such an app, though you should be able to view the alldata documents on the Tab, no? Or is it a desktop application?

I suspect all of the new Tab owners are busy playing with their Tabs! I can't blame them, though. Why post here if you're having fun exploring the device?!

Here's a great looking Rugby game called Rugby Nation on the Tab:

Here's a game called SpeedX on the Galaxy Tab:

Nice. With themed graphics (eg. futuristic city ala FZero), this game could be that much cooler!

Here's a video of bonecruncher soccer. It's not running on a Tab, but it looks like a very fun casual game.

For those that don't know, it's similar in style to backbreaker football. The basic premise is to avoid being tackled/intercepted, to score a touchdown/goal.

This game called 'spectral souls' looks like an AWESOME RPG for Android, and would be amazing on the Galaxy Tab:

Becuase it's composed of Rasters, this is one game that may stay centred on screen or scaled to fit. However, if coded appropriately, simply more of the playfield/world will be exposed on the screen.
