Help how to gauge dock vs. tab battery use?

While connected to the dock, the tablet's battery remains fully charged until the dock runs out of charge. Is there a way to tell how much charge remains in the dock while docked or undocked?

Dual battery widget from Android market

Thanks. This app looks great, but absolutely will not install on my system. Even after rebooting, it downloads and installs from the market, but simply never shows up on my TF. Notifications show it has installed, but it's nowhere to be found. Market says it's installed, and if I click the "open" button on the app from within Market, nothing happens. It uninstalls fine. Any clues as to wtf?
 
Oh, for God's sake--I found that tricky mf. I guess the clue is that it's named "widget" and the developer wants you to have a little adventure using it the first time.

I believe all widgets install like that...it's a widget, not an app, so as you found out, you need to drag the widget to your selected homescreen for it to be visible.
:D
Nice widget isn't it...works well and is resizeable too.
 
wow i was wondering about this for the longest too... only if Asus would have already included something like this... only 304kb worth of widget....
props to the developer!

Yeah, it fits the bill perfectly. I wish it would go in the status bar like Battery Notifier, which I use on my phone.

I'll have to remember that about installing widgets. There are misleading things: after I downloaded, Folder Organizer offered me to classify the new app, but then did not list it, so that's a bug in Folder Organizer. And after it's installed, the Market offers you an "open" button, but that has no effect. Those are two signposts pointing you in the wrong direction. I've seen other people give up on Dual Widget because they never found it.
