So much for that theory.

I don't knowingly have huge amounts - if indeed any - Google Apps on it.
Although thinking about it, I do have Google Earth, but it hasn't been
opened since the update.

Google Earth should not cause problems. It's only Google Mail and
possibly Calendar that might need to sync huge amounts of data.

For the moment, I'm going to leave the wifi and location services switched
off, and see what happens. If that is ok, then I will put the wifi back
on,
and see how it goes then, and report back.

iPhone and iPod touch: Understanding Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975

The iPod Touch does NOT have GPS or 3G data. However, it can use
Wi-Fi to obtain locations. I usually leave location services off on
mine to save electrons. I just turned it on, fired up Google Maps
while indoors, and it found me within about 300ft. Nice. However,
there's no additional drain other than Wi-Fi. When the iPod Touch
goes to snooze, the Wi-Fi goes into standby. I don't think this is
the source of your mystery discharge.

Agreed, the wifi *should* go to standby when the iPod sleeps, and I'm sure
that it did with the previous version of software that was on the device,
but I'm not yet convinced that it is doing so correctly, with iOS 4, so at
the moment, I'm still checking battery drain with various settings on or
off, and the jury is still out on this one ...
