I think background data is the process of an app syncing even when it is not opened.
For instance: Facebook app getting your messages/friend requests and alerting you via notification even when it's not opened.
or Twitter alerting you when you get a DM even when it's not opened.
If you have the background data UNCHECKED, your apps will NOT perform their syncs when unopened.
Everything that syncs will most likely be affected by this. FB, Twitter, Calendar, Mail, News, Weather, etc.

So should I keep it on or.off?
mm yeah that's what it does could save you alot battery but if you use this services it will suck, and btw your phone won't be able to use the android market until you turn it back on
do you use it alot then i will say yeah otherwise not but then again i think that's the reason you got the phone, but is up to you i don't turn it off at all usually get like 14hrs or more, and i usually read feed every hour or so, text messages, etc. one thing the consume a lot battery is the camera
