    The battery did very well. My videos are encoded at 604x480 for ZooTV Sydney and POPmart Mexico and from 9am this morning, the iPod lasted until 6.00pm tonight with both videos looping.

    Eight hours! Impressive.


    eight hours on video is very very impressives. I'll have to test mine

    The original avatar filename was "eyepod".

    Well, when you get a new iPod (30/60/80/160GB) you won't be disappointed, but the menu will give you the shits.

    going to get on the phone soon about the hiss. Does your clickwheel move around a little in its cut out? Theres a bit of play in mine as if the cut out wasn't a perfect circle or its a little too small.

    It gets stuck and I have to push it back out.

    You keep on with Apple until they replace that bloody thing. You shouldn't be having problems like this.

  12. That was torture. I got an Indian opersator who knew ipods no better than he knew English unfortunatley. After telling him several times that my problem concerned a hissing noice he decided for himself to put it down as a 'garbling' sound. WTF!!

    He then tried to convince me that the ipod wasn't the problem and the problem was my earphones (even though I've tried 4 pairs) then he tried blaming me again because my music wasn't purchased from the itunes store!!!!

    I finally turned him around and an empty box is on the way to my house so that I can send the ipod away for a check up (and when they don't find anything wrong it'; be straight back on the phone for an exchange this time).
