TUAW's Daily App: Battery Go!

This is an interesting app that could come in handy. Battery Go! is an app that's all about your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad's battery. It'll give you all kinds of information about how long your battery will last, given either the charge it currently has or the charge percentage that you set it at. If you want to see just how long your phone will last on standby, how much talk time you have left, or how much longer your video will play before the phone dies, Battery Go! will tell you.

Of course, these are all just guidelines based on the battery specs. Actual battery usage has lots of other factors involved, but as a rough estimate, Battery Go! can help. If you spend a lot of time away from a way to charge your iDevice and need some help budgeting out your power, Battery Go! can do it.

Plus, the app is currently free to download, so even if you don't plan on using it, there's no charge to have it just in case.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. How did you -- or anyone in the comments thus far -- fail to mention that the developer redirects downloaders to the newer "Plus" version, also free? IT provides additional indications (estimations) for things including games and age of device. Worth more than the price just to have this handy little dashboard.

The real story is that TUAW featured an app that is ugly as sin.

Honestly, yuck!

Also, "3G Phone" has to got to be the biggest crock I've ever heard. Standard phone calls don't use 3G.

There are dozens of apps that do this (free and paid). Why is this one worth mentioning?

More interesting: isn't there an app out there that does the same based on your actual battery consumption and life cycle? I never get the numbers mentioned in these apps. So an app that says I can call for 100 minutes while in reality it's only 15 is worthless to me.

Do people really need this? I mean.. I throw my phone on the charger every night, and never ever worry about how many minutes of talk time I have left... The ONLY time it's ever an issue is on road trips where I don't have a car charger.

Interesting to note is that 'iStat' will do this as well, along with it's trademark features; but of course, that one's paid.
