News Windows Phone 7 Series supports DirectX 9 and SM3

An honest question - what will this mean for potential battery life? Will the graphical enhancements come at a cost to battery life, or will the effect be negligible over time?

EDIT: I see that the article hints at battery life toward the end, but I thought it was worthy of further discussion, since it's a pretty important feature in the hand-held market.

 

It will probably give you up to a day of medium use, that is how they size the batteries so they can get you to buy the extended life one. Every WinMo phone I have ever had has been like this.

Who needs 360 support on their phone? Just another iphone, nothing new, just repackaged (at least there will be models with a physical keyboard.)

 

And I was beginning to lose hope..

woo! \o/ yay!
