Additionally, for you to really see the show, you have to have the backlight on, which drains the battery completely in about 30 minutes.
As always galt is wrong.
I listened to the ipod at work for about 4-5 hours, then I watched 2 episodes of the office and also part of the nip tuck episode i missed from last week, then I listened to it for another hour after the cardio and in total I used about a 1/4 of the battery.
I will admit though that the ipod earbuds are not good for working out, I didnt get shocked but they kept on slipping out cause of the running movement and sweat.
Hedcold already supported my contention that older iPods suck for video and the battery drains fast.
And I'm sorry if I run so fast that I generate electric current.
