webOS 1.2 causes battery drain

Myself as well as quite a few others are experiencing battery drain, my battery drains without using any apps. Since I updated this afternoon, my phone has died twice. This is a major problem, Palm needs to fix this NOW!!!

Palm, if you're aware of this, DO NOT sit on your hands. Many people will jump to the Hero in a few weeks.
