I kept getting jealous that I didn't have a Zune 2, and all I had was the Zune 1 while watching the video and every ten seconds I got jealous and angry only to remember that the firmware is going to Zune 1's too! Yay! Go Microsoft!

Default Zune 2 Battery life????

One very important item that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is the battery life of Zune 2. It's my #1 beef on the current Zune (my battery craps out after a 2 hour movie and maybe 30-60 minutes of music and I have the backlight on low and no wifi-on on).

The new ipods have been touting battery life as one of their big marketing messages - 7 hours for the nano, and like 6 hours for the classic and touch. The fact that Microsoft hasn't mentioned battery life at all in any of their initial press has me worried that they haven't upped the ante here and could be a big sore point on sales.

It would be great if the new firmare could address battery life, but I'm not hopeful.

Currently, on Engadget, the battery life is reported to be 20 hours audio/5 hours video for the Zune 80 and 20 hours audio/4 hours video. Exact specs are not available yet...

And if your battery 'craps' out after only 2 hours, it's not the hardware, it's the operator...

The operator??

How much battery life do you see on yours (when using heavy on video vs music)? After reading some posts here I mentioned that I set mine to low backlight and wifi off. I can't make a cross-country flight without having to recharge the battery via my 4 AA battery travel charger. Longest I got was a 2.5 hr movie, then like 30 to maybe 60 minutes of music before I got the low battery pop up.

If anyone is seeing significantly more than that, I'd like to find out how they are doing that...

And if the new Zune 80 can do 5 hrs of video, I'm interested in upgrading.

Default 160 Zune?

I sure hope they release a 160 gig Zune. Apple has a 160 gig one. I will buy one if it has a 160 gig`s.

Looks like the back is a plastic with a spotty paint job to make it look metal but still have the Zune's rugged lastability.
