Is that not a feature of ICS?
yeah i guess so. a noticeable improvement on battery life
Loving the battery life on it too. With my daily work usage and web browsing (no media playback), installing some apps over wifi. I've been around 40-50% battery remaining at the end of the day.
Hours are about 8am till 11pm.

Pulser's sig doesn't work here Intratech, too wide

.Glad to hear this, but some more detail from them would be nice.
We'll probably get it within 48 hours as sim free stock has been delayed by 2 days to retailers to check that the update has worked.
I more mean the fact that it isn't detecting that something is running. I definitely want the CPU to power down when not in use. If this is a new feature of ICS then yes it'll probably be up to individual apps to tell the GN not to downclock and as Google never update Google Listen I'll have to find a new podcast app
That BBC news application screenshot looks no different to the previous version
Wait till you see the honeycomb app

I dumped Listen a couple of months ago and now use Podkicker. It's a lot better and free. Only downside is it doesn't sync with Google Reader
I'm just off the phone to Phones4U, wanted to return the Nexus. Just to clarify, I am not unhappy with the phone. It was the contract that I felt wasn't the best.
Wanted to just buy P&G from Three and get £15 top up. Told the guy this.
Spoke to a very nice and helpful guy. Told him the problem and he popped me on hold.
Advise, if I wanted to return and cancel then I could. I had activated the SIM so was surprised.
I happened to mention the Nokia Lumia 800 and he said I could return the Nexus and they would exchange for the Nokia.
Also offered to refund the £49 I had paid for the phone if I wanted to keep the Nexus.
Thinking it throug, the contract actually works our cheaper than the P&G. So ended up just taking the refund of £49
So on 18 month contract with Orange at £38.50 with 600 minutes, 3000 texts, 1GB internet and BT WiFi.
GS2 will be going up for sale

Here's how much battery I have left after 24 hours.
Whilst it's not had heavy usage it still has been in constant sync with Gmail, twitter, facebook and tweetdeck. Also installed a few apps and done a little media playback and browsing.
Huge improvement over the Desire I've been using. Also charging the Nexus is rapid!

Out of the box, probably a bit quieter. But using volume+ from the market makes it loud enough without distortion.
I just use the free version which gives +4 setting, plenty loud enough for me. But I believe the paid version allows even more volume.
Edit: Also listening to music from the headphone port is a vast improvement.
