i would guess it's a lot longer as network access ought to be the most
power consuming feature on the phone (given that ur appli doesnt access the
network every ms). at least batteries on my phone (not hitachi sh though)
dont seem to drain much when if i play games to/from work.

why would the program size affect the playing time?

probably less power consumtion as the app would be idle most of the time
(assuming that these power saving cpus will suspend or slow down or
whatever).

remember i saw an imode browser written in iappli 1.0 for 503 and it was
less than 10kB.
