The white backlight uses more power than the 320's green backlight does. The CPU is 16Mhz faster and it has to charge double the RAM and double the ROM. Why the app wouldn't work on the 360 though... that one is odd! Try a hard reset?
Sorry, I didn't make clear that I use the backlight almost never on both devices. Mostly they're used for outdoor reading so its not much help. Can this massive difference in battery life really just be due to higher clock speed, more RAM, and different LCD? Suspended for a few days with no cards inserted, the 360 is still a power pig.
Even with the illumination off , the 360LX screen is outstanding for its time; I've seen e-ink screens that do not look this good.
(On the other hand, the 320's looks gameboy puke-o-tron green under all but the brightest external lighting conditions.
)
It isn't possible to swap the screens between the 320 and 360, is it? I'm guessing no because they look different....
