iPod Nano 4gb: Battery Life

(1/2) > >>

first500:
I am just about to purchase a new player, and have opted for a Nano, as I have used Rockbox before on a (now broken) Ondio, and loved it.  The manuals for Nano Rockbox say that battery life is reduced from original Apple running, but will get better as the interface develops.

Can someone tell me what stage the battery life is up to now?  Is it yet as good(?) as or better than native iPod Nano?

In short, no. Not at all.

first500:
Is development of Rockbox for the Nano really ongoing, and will battery life be a priority, or do you think it is now "as good as it gets"?

Llorean:
There isn't particular focus on the battery. It's not a priority *now* because there are many other areas for work to take place, and battery improvemens will in many cases come with better knowledge of the hardware, but this is far from as good as it will get, most likely
