Power Manager for Android
This is a great little utility that allows you to customize and manage power settings on your T-Mobile G1. It gives you various statistics and information on the battery health. The best feature is the ability to apply profiles that kick-in as the battery level changes. So you can create a profile where you can instruct the app to automatically turn off GPS and reduce the screen brightness when the battery level drops below 25%. It has several options that can be customized, but the main power-hungry features such as the GPS, and Bluetooth, come with pre-installed settings that allow you to get started with minimal tweaking.
Even the triggers are customizable, so you can have almost arbitrary triggers enable a profile. This is particularly useful when you want to use one power-hungry feature (like listening to music) while minimizing usage of other power-hungry features (screen, GPS, etc.) at the same time.
