Scot,
I haven't notice much impact on the battery life but, given all the
services/demons typical ubuntu system launches, there must be some
consequences for the battery for sure. I do leave it running in
background (by not exiting terminal).
I also noticed some keybindings that don't work (M-<arrows> and M-RET
in particular) but their ESC- counterparts work fine. It looks like
that might be a problem of the Android Terminal.
Regards,
Alex
