iPod battery problems

A concern-making article about problems with iPod battery life- I wonder if there is any data on whether the new batteries work any better.

Update: lots of people have ended up looking at this page, so I figured I’d better update the information. Turns out that updating the iPod software makes the battery life much longer. It’s 8 hours instead of the 10 it started out being when I first got it, I’m betting that it’s the clock they added. Now all of my accessories tell me the time. Fwuh.
