There's a Power Control widget that comes with the Droid that can turn 
on and off Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, syncing, and screen backlighting.  I 
use it fairly regularly when I'm in an area where the wifi is spotty 
enough that the Droid tries to use it, but can't get a good connection.  
I've found the battery life to be pretty good.  I got the desktop 
docking station on sale, so it's easy for me to keep it charged when I'm 
at my desk.

As like Ryan, I have a 45+ minute commute each way which I usually spend 
fiddling around the web and/or listening to music or podcasts.  I rarely 
get below 80% by the end of the trip.
