Ryan Rea (Volvoshine) is doing a mini interview with one question a day to his source. The first question was:
Ryan Rea what kind of battery life are we looking at?
TK it should be roughly 5X more then the current iPod touch
The current iPod Touch is rated for 36 hour of audio and 6 hours of video. So if this is true you will be seeing 180 hours of audio on the Zune HD and about 30 hours of video. This translates into 7 and a half days of listening audio and 1 and a quater days watching video.
If this turns out true that would be very impressive indeed…

if this battery runtime translate to real life…that will KICK THE IPOD TOUCH TO THE GROUND AROUND MANY CIRCLES ON THE WEB.
THAT WILL BE HUGE…

My personal thought is if they can break 50 hours with audio and 24 hours of video they have won.

So after publishing so many of Volvoshine’s rumours, are you going to round them all up and see what his batting average was? It seems pretty silly that this guy got so much attention when it’s clear that he either had no source to begin with, or his source was making it all up. The Zune HD clearly does not have 5x the battery performance of the iPod Touch.

That’s a good idea, I’ll have to do that
