What is the battery life of the shuffle? Is it the same or better than the nano?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response...I'm skeptical of what the apple manuals claim. I also read somewhere that the batteries on the shuffle are cheap and easy to replace yourself???

If anyone can chime in on their actual user experiences, that would be great...

By the way, when I got my nano - I had to leverage the Apple Warranty and get it replaced (3) times in one year! Then again, I bought it the first day it came out, so maybe there were some bugs when they first released.

Not so... but AppleCare costs $39.

experiences, that would be great...


Ran mine down once by leaving it playing overnight after having used it for ~3hours after charging. Generally charge mine every three/four days (approximately 6-8 hours of use) with staus LED still green.

Like life, your experience may vary from that of others... On the other hand, I'm considering buying an Apple iPod FM Radio Remote but am concerned how it will affect the battery performance of my 1st Gen Nano

Hey I have a question and I'm sorry if it's a repeat of what someone else has said--but I just got mine and it won't charge. I let it charge for over a day and when I turn it on it will stay green for a few seconds then go dark. Then if I press a button it will go green again and then flash orange a few times then turn off. I'm not sure what to do, please help!
