I have the same problem while playing some of the games, and it doesn't help to turn it around or anything. It's simply too short. Made for midgets! So there.

A lot of sources advise for LiIon batteries to let them go through a couple of complete charges/deep discharges the first time. It's claimed to help maximize the battery capacity.
Apple say similar things about their batteries.
NimH and NiCd batteries are the ones that need deep cycling.
Then again, I've yet to own a mobile device whose battery hasn't totally given up within a year anyway (my laptop's battery is totally dead, it doesn't hold charge overnight any more). So I don't think it really matters

I've been careful to use my laptop off the charger almost every day (i.e. avoiding keeping it at 100% all the time, particularly when warm), and it's only in the third year that the capacity has started to drop a bit (I used to get 5 hours active hacking capacity, now it's more like 4 1/3). The old battery, on the other hand, completely died within a year after being kept 100% charged all the time. However, I try to avoid deep-discharging the laptop. In my experience that'll kill capacity quickly (I did it once with my phone and it's never been the same after that).

So far the only site I found is maemo.org, I assume thats the only source for developer information and downloadable apps?
