Dianne, this second statement about 'giving choice to users' was diametrically opposed to your first, which out-of-hand discarded the possibility of a user requiring an app with such battery usage, without even knowing if the app would need to run 24/7. 'Please don't do this.' I've written an app that has a monitor running in the background. The user can select the alarm update period while the device is off. Horrors, he could select 5 seconds, though of course the default is on the order of 10 minutes. And of course there's a power warning. Power to the user!
