I've managed to stick it out with the 60 GB mostly because I don't use the device for prolonged periods of time but Toshiba really has to do something about the battery. My fear is that the Zune will suffer from the same fate as the Gigabeat S - but hopefully my fears will be meritless. We'll see once we get our hands on a Zune!</p>Felix LungTue, 03 Oct 2006 17:34:27 -0000http://www.zunesphere.com/2006/09/18/rumors-on-zunes-battery-life-performance/#comment-2404756<p>I bought the Gigabeat S 30gb and returned it in a few days becasue the battery life stank. It ran for a couple of hours of audio playback and then shut down. I am still looking around for a good PVP and the Creative Zen seems to be the best choice for now. I want to wait until the Zune is out but something tells me the battery life on it is going to be as bad as the Gigabeat's. From initial vews of the interface, it seems like the Zune will have the same interface as the Gigabeat S, only the screen will be bigger. A bigger screen coupled with the Wi-Fi capability will cause some additional battery drainage problems.</p>AkshayTue, 03 Oct 2006 14:48:00 -0000
