I work for a smartphone and found that tuning for the battery is hard, labor intensive work. And you also need awareness from the app developer whose apps do use the battery. Plus you need a lot of users to justify these efforts to be get paid. It's not technical superiority but more about the economy of scale. I bet Linux is much more energy efficient in datacenters than Windows because of this reason.

you work for a smartphone?
It's the great philosophical question of our time. Do our smartphones work for us or do we work for our smartphones?
I guess I meant I worked for a smartphone development.
you never work for a smartphone?!
