    Ran across a little app that seems to work pretty good. BatteryBar. Shows the % of battery in the taskbar without having to mouse over or anything. Changes color too to give a visual of battery strength. Pretty neat.

    I've used this before... its the same as IBM's battery Maximiser gauge!!! its nice!!!.

    On a side note, I usually never have to look at the meter during my day at work because the battery lasts so long that it rarely scares me enough to look at it :D
