Tasker looks like a great app to me, however, it seems like many of the automated scripts I would utilize are based on location. This means (I'm thinkiing) that I'd have to have the GPS radio running all the time.
I heavily use the DX and make it through the day (most of the time) without recharging. My concern with tasker or locale is I'd end up sucking up enough battery that I'd end up having to recharge.
Is this a valid concern? Are there other automation activities that make this app worth it? Are there a lot of work arounds (turning GPS on/off automatically) that would minimize the battery drain?
Perhaps the best thing to do is wait until a reasonable extended life battery is available for the DX.
