597517 2007-10-03 16:37:00 Probably the main thing you should know. Don't expect the battery to last as long as they claim. Sorry to burst your bubble. But it's true

Battery life should be about 20 hours which is fine for most people.

597518 2007-10-04 10:15:00 Hell yes, I wouldn't even use it for more than 10!! Chris815 (10270)
597519 2007-10-04 17:15:00 It was only the 1st and 2nd gen iPods that had issues with battery life of around 7-8 hours. winmacguy (3367)

Talking of messing things up, I see the latest Zune is due out shortly gizmodo.com

Hey hey hey, I wouldn't be too quick to go around bashing the new Zune: Better than the iPod classic? (gizmodo.com)
Interesting...

iPod's can play MP3's. All mine are now MP3's except for the ones I have bought from iTunes (then when I can get some free time !!)

Unlike the Zune, iPods have been able to play MP3s since the first day they were released and considering the iPod Classic is due to be EOL'd...the Zune still has a looong way to go.

Doubt I'd ever buy a zune either, but what I meant was, doesn't the ipod have to convert the mp3 to m4a with itunes first?

The ipod does no converting, why would it? itunes doesn't need to convert. Guess what, the ipod plays MP3's
