ScreenDimmer has been updated and does now support the iPad :).
if you don’t know about ScreenDimmer:
ScreenDimmer can help you to save battery life by automatically dimming your device’s screen after a pre-defined time; or if you wish by turning the backlight off.
Most users suffer unnecessary battery drain while having their iPhone not on standby. Setting auto-lock to a short time makes it better, but is an inconvenience most of the time due to permanent locking and unlocking while waiting for something.
ScreenDimmer is the solution for this problem: Save battery life by reducing the backlight to a minimum if the device hasn’t been used for a pre-defined time and reduce the waste of the most energy consuming component, the backlight, of the iPhone or iPod.
Free yourself from worrying about locking your device
Brought to you by the developers of 3G Unrestrictor and Firewall iP.

Installed screendimmer. Works perfectly on my iPhone, but on the iPad when I try to access the settings I get the error “there was an error loading the preference bundle for ScreenDimmer.”
