iPod touch iPod Touch Battery

[Tragedies]

I just bought a new iPod Touch off eBay, and it came, and I assume was bought, from Singapore. Its all official and new and such, however Im curios to battery life.

General question first, does web browsing via WiFi take more battery then playing music? Or even playing video?

Can someone redirect me to where I can find what Apple says about video and music playback. How many hours on average is expected?

...and do Applications take alot of battery power? Assuming it is something like Tap Tap Revenge/.

Absolutely. WiFi and Apps drain battery power far quicker than music playback alone, and when you combine the two, even more so. I'll search for a link. Congrats on your iPod!

Oh, ok. 'Cause one of the first things I did when I got it was use WiFi..and found the battery going fast. But if it seems expected, then fair enough. It is Internet on a small device anyway, heh.

Would you guys say WiFi drains battery faster then videos? Personally WiFi uses alot of battery, as mentioned, however Ive yet to mess around with video playback.

Thanks for the quick replies, too.

WiFi certainly drains faster. From what I've seen, WiFi gets somewhere between 3-4 hrs of life, video 5-6.

Btw, a GREAT way to save battery life is turn the screen brightness down to around 1/4 bright. It's still plenty bright, and you'll hardly notice the difference a few minutes in!

Oh, ok. That's good to know =)

And I think I will turn the brightness down. Most of the time it seems to bright, anyway XD

Thanks for the brightness tip.

Wifi always slaughtered my iTouch (yes, I know - but that's what I call it) although as has been pointed out, lowering the brightness helps a great deal.
