    Yes, all iPod batteries have a certain time limit. Two of my previous iPods have had batteries lasting no longer than about 12-14 months - although I dont know how much relevence that bares to the shuffle's battery life. If battery is your main concern, I would advise against getting an iPod of any sort. You should get an mp3 player for which you can easily change the battery over.

    I do remeber what you are talking about when my bro brought a ipod shuffle to work out with. It is like 50,000 charges or something(the point is plenty of charges, he said it will more likely break before the battery runs flat). And i asked my freind how long the battery lasted and he said 24 hours. (which makes sense because there is no screen)

    Oops typo i meant to type 5000. I am pretty sure that 500 isnt the right answer either though.

    It is indeed..have a look at the link I posted.. These batteries last nowhere near 5000 charge cycles..

    if i were you ricky, then i'd buy a 1GB nano instead of a shuffle.

    Well get a 512mb shuffle then. As far as iPods go, that's as small as it gets..
