New iPod Battery Life... Good and bad. Well, good mostly. ;) ... The bigger model gives up to 20 hours of music play (if you don't touch that dial, that is...), 4 hours of slideshows with music and 3 hours of video playback. The smaller model obviously also has a smaller battery, since it can only reach 14 hours, 3 and 2 hours respectively. I personally think that the 60 GB model is "just the better deal". And since you're going to put videos onto it, you're going to enjoy its larger harddrive, anyway. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 02:28 [article link]
