Luca, Snoshrk, your machines (hardware or software) have something wrong. Even if streaming uses logically much more power thant reading from SD card, you should'nt get so poor results !

As usual in this case try :
0/ charge fully your battery
1/ deactivate ALL your applets/taskbar applets
2/ go to in flight mode
3/ close ALL your running programs
4/ play a long video from your SD card

How long does it play now ?
Well, I don't actually care about videos, but if I do 2 I could well stop using the internet tablet at all
Note that I always had lousy time with no applets at all, that's why now I have the clock and omweather (it doesn't make a difference).
Since the tablet doesn't tell me what is actually using the battery, trying pinpoint the cause (I suspect the swap on the sd card and the lousy access point) it's not worth it for me, since I have a couple of cheap spare batteries: when the first one is over I put in the second one.
