ipod nano battery life
ive heard some nasty things about the ipod nano's battery life and thus am pretty paranoid. nevertheless, i purchased a nano anyway because its so darn sexy and i guess i could live with 14 hours of battery life.
The manual, however, says that 3 hours of charge is needed, and an ilounge review indicated 2 h and 40 min. appallingly, my nano charged for only an hour the FIRST TIME i used it before indicating that it is full, and i managed only to get 10 h of play from it with backlight turned off and about 3 min of photo viewing... the second time i charged it it took a little more than an hour and a half from a completely flat battery. is this normal? Again, with backlight turned off i timed myself each time i used it and only managed to squeeze another 10 h out of it.
Also, nano owners around me (im schooling, so there are plenty of these arnd) report that their battery life deteriorates over a few months to last only 6-7 hrs. this is a cause for concern....
