Finally! According to this article, the next iPods should get a major boost in the battery life department. That'll be nice. Actually, well, the problem of the battery crapping out 18 months after is still the main problem. The only thing is... I haven't figured out if my battery has a problem. The only time I've tried using the iPod recently is when I'm outside, and apparently the battery won't operate under 32 degrees Farenheight. So, since it's almost 40, today's the first time in a long time I walked for over an hour and the battery didn't stop working. I guess I'll have to get them to make cold weather iPods or somethin'.
