cute little robot in Star Wars named Android.

There is no droid in Star Wars called Android. You must be referring to R2-D2, which is an android. Android means human-like and is generally used to describe humanoid robots.

Pain point

Fantastic OS. Couple of (big) pain points
1. it does not sync with Outlook (contacts / calendar)
2. MS office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) viewer / editor is not automatically availble - has to be bought from Android Market.

tips to extend b'try life:
1- uncheck background sync
2- set screen time out to less
3- use a wall paper that does not drain out fast- probably a static one
4- check your display settings, brightness.
