Would it be better for me to buy a lighter adapter for it? I've heard the batterylife isn't as good with rockbox as it is with stock firmware; but, I like being able to just plug the unit into my pc, transfer the songs, no fuss, no muss- unlike itunes. Is this true? thanks - Tyler -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

The battery life on the iPod video with Rockbox is terrible; I'm only getting about 6 to 7 hours tops on one full charge. Until the code itself is further optimized, battery life will be short. Actually, in my case, it's stressing the battery out pretty badly. I just purchased a higher capacity battery for my iPod (580 mAh versus the stock 400mAh), so I should get a fairly good performance boost. Rob (Rockbox user since 12/28/06; running on a 5.5G iPod video, 30GB) Uh oh- I'm not really sure if I like the sound of that. Where can I get one of these batteries, and how many more hours would I get? If I can, I'd like to get a car adapter, since I'll be in the vehicle most of the time; the 7 hours would be good when I'm sitting outside on the patio etc etc. Can i get it in any store? or do I have to buy it from apple? thanks -- Nobody's ever lost in life...they're merely taking the scenic route. ============================== Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
