PowerTutor

I found a power monitoring app tonight and figured I would share it with folks here. The name is PowerTutor and it's available in the Market for free. To see more info about it, view the app homepage. Here is a brief description of it though.

PowerTutor uses a power consumption model built by direct measurements during careful control of device power management states. This model generally provides power consumption estimates within 5% of actual values. A configurable display for power consumption history is provided. It also provides users with a text-file based output containing detailed results. You can use PowerTutor to monitor the power consumption of any application.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it could be useful for testing to see how brightness affects battery drain, or if an undervolted kernel is actually using less power or not.

Thanks allot, I will definitely look into it.
