Question: Nano 16GB Battery Life Approximately how long is the battery life for this new Ipod?  I've heard 4 hours but I dont know if thats the 8GB or not.  I think that may be the only thing thats keeps me from getting it, I like to use it when I'm going on long trips.
Document: This stylish 4th generation Ipod has a bigger screen but the battery lasts only 4 hours. I can't believe Apple came up with an Ipod that has only 4 hours of battery life. This might have been OK in the 80's but this is simply utter nonsense in 2008. Also, the new Ipod doesn't seem to be compatible with other Ipod peripherals. For instance, whenever I try to recharge my Ipod, I'm getting an error message saying that charging is not supported, then it freezes after a few moments.
I like this ipod. It's little small (it seemed at first), but it's size has "grown on me", and now, I'm glad it's so small. It's very portable, and it sounds great! Good features and easy to use, as well as a now to bad battery life.For a long, long while, I held off on getting an ipod, because for some reason, it just never seemed that the sound quality would be very good, and so I waited.
Reading text isn't such a strain on the eyes as one would expect. Sound quality is super, battery life is 24 hours for music and 4 hours for video.If your music collection isn't too large, or if you want to use your MP3 player while jogging, at the gym, etc (the flash memory can withstand jolts and shock), then the Nano might be for you. It also connects nicely to most of the docks and audio accessories available.In summary, another winner!! !
I have had the new nano for a week and i have to say, this thing is amazing. This is my 1st ipod, so i have had no problem with the compatability issues. listening to mostly rock and a little blues, the audio quality is great. the games are fun, but use up battery life a little fast. itunes is a little of a setback, seeing as i have most of my music on an external hard drive and as far as i can see, itunes only takes cds.
So i bought the 8gb model. In two weeks i noticed the battery would die in just a couple of hours of charging it from just playing songs off and on. Then the click wheel became unresponsive. I got a refund and got another one it worked for a day. I put about 500 songs on it. It lagged like crazy. Then disabled coverflow and wouldnt play any music or videos. I plan on going back to the 3rd generation ipod nano.
I'm not using iTunes ;) I've also seen complaints about how the iPod Nano 4th Generation is difficult to use without more information than the little insert provided by Apple; again, Google is your friend. If you don't know how to do something, Google it, and the answer will pop right up. I've had to do that once or twice for minor questions, and I found the answer each time.
I had originally posted a less than glowing review for the new Ipod Nano based simply on what we can describe now as the old "cover-flow problem". Well, now I know that when I bought my new Ipod, I wasn't simply getting a good product, but a company that listens to it's customers. I didn't like one of the software design aspects to the product (a lot of people didn't), so Apple listened, and now I feel better about being an Ipod owner.
Really excited to replace my older nano, not so much excitement on my second day. Charging is not an option unless you have your mac with you. The car wont charge it, all the speaker docks wont charge it....And the life of the battery? 4 hours!
As previous reviewers have said, it will play but not charge and worse yet it does seem to suck battery juice at a faster rate playing through the dock connector. This is a very big disappointment however five years in computer tech is a very long time and considering how much more advanced these ipods and iphones are it may not be so unreasonable that they don't play nice with ancient technology.Also I don't like that the headphone jack is on the bottom of the Nano right next to the dock connector.
This is a really good product i love it but the only drawback is the battery it doesnt use 24 hours of playback like it says it last more along the lines of 3-4 hours of music if your just listening to music and around an hour and a half if your just watching movies and tv shows
Answer: it doesnt matter 8gb or 16gb they have the same battery life, its battery life is like 4-7 hours depending on how you use it... Its battery life isnt even close to what apple claim it to be.
