And what happened to Gsmarena home page in desktop view? There were flash banners on top of the page and on the sides, but they are gone :s And both my pc and my phone show that page exactly same. But like I said, there are no more flash banners anymore? Anyone got any idea about that?

That's not a big deal, just install AdFree app from the market and all the ads will disappear..Just like the adblock plus app for chrome/firefox..works same and it's usefull.

Why not buying the game ? No more ads, no more battery drain.

Why do you need a data connection while playing a game for an example & it works offline?! Just turn the data off!
I don't think this research brought anything new, the data being on consumes battery in all cases.
The research at the other end advertises for paid applications.

I noticed this over a year ago when I got Desire HD and played angry birds. The battery usage was huge when I had data O and the game had some notable lag. The Battery usage went down a lot when I turned OFF the data and the game was a lot smoother too.

Just buy the app, if you really find it useful. That's what I do. Developers must eat too. :)
If you want everything for free, don't complain. :)

I once turned off my data to prolong battery power and noticed that the pop-ups in Angry Birds no longer appeared. You obviously have to turn it back on to browse web pages but it increases standby time by about 150%.

thn while playing game, how would the app upload/download the ad`s? So by this I dont think it would consume a lot of battery...am I correct?
