... a touchpad ipod (what’s out now) 15GB version. The battery problems started pretty much right away. The time they lasted while playing dropped to almost 2 1/4 hours, which is silly with how much music it holds. Not only that, but if it was charged placed it on hold so it wouldn’t start playing, it wouldn’t keep the charge for more than 2 days. ...throw it in a bag and not be able to listen to it until a few days later, but it had no charge left. ...the sound quality is sub-par too. It doesn’t get loud enough for certain tastes, and if you do play with the limited equalizer, it’s extremely distorted. Most been very happy with the new Rio, even if merely for the mp3 on all aspects. The menu is easier to get around, the sound is amazing, you get 16+ hours out of the battery, and get 5GB more space than the ipod for $100 less.
All accounting to tastes though..LOVED the ipod while the battery was as it had been when new AND remember - not everyone has experienced the same issues...just no aftermarket fix and no warranty on the battery fix by the Manufacturer...
