When people ask my why I jailbreak my phone, my verbal answer is that I like to be able to control what's running on my phone (and peek at what it is doing), and my convenience demo is showing how SBSetting lets me turn wireless off, change brightness, and/or airplane on in a 0.5 secs of swipe+click.

I think that when I actively manage my battery life, I get 7-8 more hours to the 4S' 40 hours between charges of my normal use. It doesn't sound like much, but for me it's the difference between having to remember to charge all the time, and doing it opportunistically.
