Don't get me wrong - the battery lasted 4 hours (with airport, email,  
and the processor running at 100% converting RAW image files). It's  
just the discharge curve was disconcertingly linear (I was expecting  
closer to an exponential decay). Of course, perhaps on a log-log  
scale it would look that way, I don't think a linear "curve" would  
look exponential, though.

X-Charge works pretty well, though, and is free.

Thanks, though. I might get xbattery if my battery life starts to  
decay rapidly in the future.
