veronica 2 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I got a case - a white rubbery "silicone jacket" that will stop vPod getting sratched. Its quite nice, but like all of these things way overpriced. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I have a new vPod question. (But I'm sure its the same for all your other pods out there!). Forgive me if its "silly". OK, sometimes I listen to my pod in bed or in my home. At the moment I'm doing that without it plugged in (ie its not recharging when I do the listening, but using the battery). Would it make more sense to - whenever possible - have it connected up to the power supply when I can. (I ask because I want to prolong the life of the battery as much as possible). Thanks!

veronica 2 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hmmm. I'm all alone on this thread now? Another Q for anyone. Anyone got the Belkin battery thing? http://www.rakuten.co.jp/kitcut/655202/655217/#544935 Thinking of getting that too. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I dont have the battery thingy. Re playing whilst charging: Look on the iPid forum about battery life. I am not the expert, but the iPod battery does not need to be run down to zero before charging. This is an older type of battery. You can top up the battery after only say 25% depletion and it does not diminish battery life. I have actually read that regular top ups are the best for this type of cell rather than 100% rundown then re-charge. Note that I have not tested this nor had an iPod long enough to confirm it. Take into account that I wouldnt know the difference between a D cell and a C cell torch battery (and nor do I care.... I have a life and dont memorise battery sizes). So my info is of limited tech value. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hey thanks. I think I'll listen to it plugged in when I'm at home. I think 8 hours for the battery is rubbish though. I get about 5 I reckon. I do a lot of skipping and random tunes, so I suppose that has a lot to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I can assure you from personal experience what they say is true. Top it up and don't let it run down to zero or you will be so-rry Link to post Share on other sites

Farley 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 The most I have got from my ipod is 6 hours. When I listen at home, I have it plugged into the mains all the time. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I wonder where they got that idea? What about these mini versions? I was reading a Japanese mag today that said they were being released here in April, but theres no info on their website Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I think the mini has been delayed so they can make enough Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hey V, was your skin the one with a cover that even covers the screen? I haven't been able to find any here yet like that! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Indosnm Here you go: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/mjsoft/490882/491183/#441577 It comes with a small display cover (thin piece of plastic which I don't actually like/use - and also a film that can go over the scroll wheel. I don't like that either so didn't use it...just the rubber cover). Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Y'welcum. (To be honest, I actually prefer the official case that comes with the 40gb model. If only it had a hole at the bottom to connect with) Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 So who wants a 60GB ipod?!!? I've got a 40GB and its still not half full and I've got something like 3500 songs on there.... Link to post Share on other sites
