Woodstock battery rundown test

by Volker Weber

Switched on Woodstock, the 20 gig iPod, this morning at 9 am and attached it to my belt. I set it to shuffle play, all artists, all albums. It holds around 3600 songs which fill the disk almost completely leaving around 2 gig free space.

Woodstock was running with a relatively low volume the whole day until around 8 pm in the evening. That was almost 11 hours out of one charge. Then I connected it to the charger which did its job in four hours flat.

In those 11 hours Woodstock played 167 songs. I think I can go on for a month now without too much repeat. The nice thing is I never have to stop it in order to conserve battery life. I just take out the ear bugs and let it do its thing.

Yes, I know that people have reported problems with the iPod battery life. Will let you know if and when things go downhill here.
