I've just noticed that my Prism's battery is taking longer to charge and the battery life is getting shorter... has anyone else had this problem?

I have not noticed it on my Prism yet, however I have had similar problems with my StarTac phone using a Lithiom Ion battery. I know that they say it does not matter on Lithiom Ion, but I will run the battery way down until it is almost dead and then let it charge for an extended period. This seems to refresh the battery and normal operation resumes. I have a Freeware application called AlwaysOn installed so I just turn the Prism on and let it run in the evening until it is almost dead. Then pop it in the charger until it is fully charged. This is not something that I do often, but it seems to keep the battery running strong.

Of course, I am not a battery expert. It could be my imagination.
