the video has the WORST battery life i have seen my friends died in like 5 or 6 hours and he was just listneing to music...
Ipods are the most common (what I use). However you can get alot better ones from Creative Zen if you get a good deal, my friend got a video + music + TV for 200$ and the starting price was 500$.
not really, i mean thats usually 1 full day, then I can always just plug it in to my computer when I get home. There is car accessories and laptop accesories to charge it if really needed, but 16 hours is more than enough considering i probably only listen to it when im driving or on a trip... and it charges in only a couple of hours, so its not bad.
