iPod touch Battery percentage indicator?

because apple knows the ipod touch will run out of juice in about 1-2 hours if you browse the web, play games, wifi,... so they don't want you to know that the battery discharges fast. that's also the reason why they advertise the iphone's battery life as "8 hours of talk, 8 hours of LTE,..." but for the ipod touch they advertise "40 hours of music, 8 hours of video"
forgot to let you know the solution: use voiceover and tap on the battery icon, it will speak the battery % left
I don't see it as a big deal. There's a battery icon which is pretty clear about the state of the battery.
Apparently when I jailbroke my 4th gen iPod a long while back and added battery percentage, it never went away with updates, nor iOS 6, nor restore from backup to my 5th gen.
I haven't actually tried this on my 5th gen touch yet (due to arrive next week) but the method described in the first post here has always worked for me:

Enable battery percentage on iPod touch 4g no jailbreak?
Hello, AbhiKap here.
I would like to know of there is a way to enable battery Percentage in the iPod touch 4g. Is there a way to do it like in the settings or something? Because I don't want to jailbreak. Also, can someone tell me how to go to the settings in the forums where you can put the apple products you have that show up here?
Thanks, help is appreciated.

I don't see a Battery Percentage setting under usage. Is it only for certain versions of IOS or the Touch ?

Doesn't seem to be working on my iPod...
Hi. This issue can be solved with iPod touches without the need of jailbreaking. Just follow this link and follow the instructions. I did it to my iPod touch 5th gen and it works. http://modmyi.com/forums/ipod-themes/816715-add-battery-percentage-ipod-touch-5th-generation-ios-6-without-jailbreaking.html

WRONG. A simple google search would have your answer.

At the time I wrote that post, battery percent wasn't an option (October of last year). The link you submitted had a post date of January of this year, so yes, it seems like there is a way now.
