iPhone Batteries for Dummies

I love my iPhone, I really do. I'm not ashamed in the slightest to admit that to the whole world. It's right up there on my list along with my family, Xbox 360, VAIO Laptop, Curry, PES, and SAFC (in no particular order).
However, there are 2 things which really bug me about it:
1. I have to put it down to change the channel on the TV. My IPAQ RX3715 could change the channel on TV, why can't my iPhone? I suppose I'll have to wait for a Bluetooth TV.
2. The battery life is awful. Even when I leave it on charge all night, it barely makes it to the end of my working day :( handy for those times I go for a swift half after work though ;)

I followed a few of the recommendations on Apple's website to see if I could get a couple of extra hours out of the battery. By disabling location services and a Google Mail account, and dimming the screen slightly, I seem to be just about making it to the end of the day. Nice one.
