Why is this a google issue?   It sounds like a prime opportunity for
you actually.  Start a web site, build a ranking of "battery killer"
apps, develop a "Battery Friendly Certified by Eli" badge that devs
can add to their application, seed all the phone review websites with
comments about your "battery killer rating site".  Put in some banner
ads to recoup bandwidth costs and go.  I know I'd point folks to such
a site if it had reliable info on what apps to not install if you want
your battery to last longer.

Or, start threads on the feedback forums of the apps that are
offenders
if you just want apps you want to use be fixed.

Or just use apps from good developers.

In particular I'd like google not to "do something about it" because
there are applications I'm willing to blow the battery on to make my
phone do something I want (for example I like to use one of the GPS
map my ride applications to get detailed information about my bike
route and store it online as it happens, or play streaming music while
connected to the charger in my car.)
