Joseph, Greytip. To add to what you said, you can turn Wi-Fi on and off using
Siri. This makes it really easy, as you don't need to go into settings to
toggle Wi-Fi on and off.

Hi all,
I thought I would pass on a little tip for those using an iPod touch and or
an iPhone.
Since purchasing my iPod 5th gen about 1.5 years ago, I've always had WiFi
running at all times. At most I would get about 1.5 days battery life. I was
learning how to use the device so wanted access to Siri and other online
access to iTunes store and such, which explains why battery died so quickly.
Now having long learned how to use my iOS device, I thought I would run it
with WiFi disabled and only turned on when I needed it. I discovered that
with WiFi disabled I could get 6 days of battery life. This means of course
that WiFi is a major battery hog. <Smile>. At one point when battery life
was at 100%, over 24 hours later I was still at 100%. Quite frankly, I'm
amazed my iOS device can do this since I had never considered running it
without WiFi.
My point is that if one is finished learning how to use their iOS device,
and if one doesn't need to use email and other information constantly pushed
to your iOS device, maybe turning off WiFi will also extend the battery on
your device.
I of course am aware of personal preference and iOS lifestyle preferences,
but since the bulk of iOS apps don't need an internet connection to run,
disabling wifi could remove the constant hassle of charging out of your
life. <Smile>.
Just thought I would pass on this little tip.
Joseph
