iPod Is Awesome - Battery Isn't
8 of 11 found this helpful Well, the holidays have come and gone and so have the presents. Included in my stocking were the normal: underwear, socks, t-shirts and the latest iPod video. It's incredible - plays music and video, shows photos and slideshows, tells you where you need to be and why you need to be there, and even has a screen lock so your pesky family members or room mates at college can't listen to your extensive Hanson library downloaded from iTunes or look at that picture of Johnny Damon's new hair cut and shave that you've been fantasizing over. Actually, with the 60 gigs you can hold 15,000 Hanson songs, 25,000 profile shots of Johnny Damon, and 150 hours of your favorite Teletubbie episodes. I love it.
The visuals are amazing, but there's one problem: Battery. Everyone seems to be concentrating on the wonderful video feature, so we all needed a stronger battery for all of this jazz. The video is amazing, please don't get me wrong, and I'll thank the 8 year old Chinese girl who made this wonderful 2.4 inch by 4.1 inch piece of Hi Def television, but the battery is just drained by it. I downloaded and watched several music videos and within about an hour, my battery was dead. I suppose the 20 hours that they advertise is minus the backlight. And another question - Where is the charger? I'm sorry I'm so critical, but I own a laptop with 1 USB port occupied by my wireless internet, so I can't charge my battery when I'm working.
Overall, I am really impressed with this item as I am with most of Apple's product. If they can make it play video, why can't they make the battery last long enough to watch them? Anywho, good effort Apple. I'm keeping an eye out for the next big step...

Outstanding Diet! Great Book!
1 of 1 found this helpful Well thought out diet that truly reduces your cravings for sugar and starches. Easy to read and follow with "foods to enjoy and avoid" in a neatly organized chart at the end of each chapter. Also, recipes are easy to make and are quite enjoyable. I lost 15 pounds in the first 2 weeks and starting seeing differences within days!
