But isn't there also a battery drain for the wifi? Does the wifi disable itself when the 3G is working?

Just for reference, I did a test for my last full charge, down to 5%. With Wi-Fi enabled the entire time, screen at 50% brightness, doing a mix of taking notes, studying my flash card app, watching YouTube videos, playing Plants vs Zombies, and browsing the Internet, I got just und 15 hours of actual usage time plus about 4 hours of standy. So Apple greatly under-rated the battery life, so I think you don't have to worry about 3G dropping the battery life to 6 hours.

I've had similar up times...I think apple rated it at high brightness.

I saw one guy talking about getting it down to just under 6 hour battery life by playing constant 3D games with everything at max settings, all which downloading and installing apps in the background. Video is on Youtube.
