So if you know you wont need data for a bit you can use this app to make the most out of your battery.

APNdroid 2.0 is a free app and is available in the Android Market. This release offers a home screen widget that toggles your data usage on or off which the touch of a button. There is also a Locale plugin to automate when to turn off your data based on a location, time, battery state or other conditions.
