Ipod Photo Battery Life
gowhitesox92:
Hello, I'm thinking of buying an ipod photo and putting rockbox on it but i'm worried about the battery life. I've already read the battery runtime reports however they did not say how long .mpg videos will play for. If anyone has an ipod photo/color and could tell me that would be very useful. Thank you

An iPod 4th gen "photo" is not an ideal movie player.
18fps fullscreen, 25 fps widescreen...
If you're buying used with the ability to choose you should be looking at a Gigabeat F series - same price if not less.
If you're buying used and don't have a choice...does movie playback time make or break the decision?

I wouldn't buy an Ipod Photo unless its amazingly cheap.

well i'm lookin on ebay and thought i'd get a photo cuz its about $100 less than a video, now i'm seeing that a gigbeat is about the same... it looks like a pretty nice mp3 player and it looks like the battery lasts a while
gowhitesox92:
do games and other applications or plugins ever get screwed up due to the fact that the screen is vertical? Also, is the movie pretty nice i mean it doesn't have ff or rewind but is it ok to work with?
