Zigbee Wireless Standard

Zigbee Wireless Standard

Zigbee Wireless Standard

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone here has any experience working with the new Zigbee standard.  

According to some articles that I've read online, Zigbee only requires 10KB programming memory in the Microcontroller which indicates a relatively short and simple program.  

Is the battery life really as good as everyone claims?  

What type of routing algorithm do they use?  Is it one that try attempts to balance out / maximize the System Life.  If the shortest route algorithm is used that would mean that the nodes closest to the final destination *Assuming only one destination* would have the shortest battery life.
