Why doesn't anyone seem to care about the Battery Life? How LONG does it allow you to Stream your music?

I'm not sure cause I usually have it plugged into my car via usb2.0. So its always being charged

I seem to get 3 to 4 hours of battery life out of it. My problem is that the Bluetooth signal can get spotty if something gets in the way of your computer or phone. It's decent for the price but not sure that I would buy it again.

That's a very good question that I was also thinking about recently. I've had my units over three years now, and they still hold their charge for a solid month. I use them 4 days a week, back and forth from work, streaming music, I'm afraid I haven't tried to research...

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

The machine weighs (maybe) four pounds. Battery life is depended upon usage: streaming music eats up the battery life and it will last around four or five hours. Simply typing a manuscript doesn't require as much battery so it could last six hours or more.

I keep it plugged in, so not sure about the battery life. The speaker phone sound is NOT GOOD, but I don't use it for that. Just for streaming music to powered speakers (which it works GREAT for). You could probably read the product details for the warranty info (if any).

It doesn't work worth a damn for music, regardless of the device. If you just want to use it for calls it works fine.

No, my iPod usually gets 3.5 or 4 hours of battery life at the most, and thats just playing straight music, not switching around between songs or playing the games or anything. Its my only real complaint about the iPod video.

Charging? I only connect it once a week or so, I believe it interferes with other running programs. Its dialog box is not user friendly. You really have to dig to make it work your way. Still, it is quite useful.

Hi Tabatha I hadn't tried it out till you just asked as I got it for my daughter to make the mobile for her. So I just put some batteries into it now to answer your question. It plays through the round of music in 4mins. But it just keeps repeating the cycle unto you turn it off yourself. Hope this answers your question for you.

The music paying from my iPod sounds great, but I am generally using it as a PA system. The battery runs the system for about 5 hours, but if you need more continuous playtime, have an alternate power source.

Maybe you got too many apps open Boo. My 4G is pretty quick. Not my iPad quick, but fast enough. That said, I only use it for playing music off a dock these days. Even if I trade it in, it's still going to cost me $170. Maybe for people who actually play lots of games it's worth upgrading. Looks like music and movie based users won't find it worthwhile.

I bought tis for my husband at Christmas. He has not tried that with it. It might have some games, but he thinks it would be very limited. HOpe that helps you.He does love it for the music streaming, though!

I use mine to stream music so its on the whole time I am getting around 4.5 per charge. 2 I would return it as defective

I get 6 to 8 hours of music/talk time. I probably talk 2 hours combined so maybe the mic takes a bit more juice if you are using it the entire time. I leave it plugged in overnight to charge.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

I'm using it specifically for the FM radio and it's easily 2 hours. For the music I can say 1.5 hours non stop and the video/pictures screen is so small and i really don't know how long you can use the power. Video and picture is very poor quality

Yes! I really enjoy the Bluetooth streaming feature. It is just as clear as if you were playing a cd, no difference!
