Walt has been off the farm for a while but it's good to see an old friend coming home.In his article, "Apple’s iPod Touch Is a Beauty of a Player Short on Battery Life", he proceeds to tear into the fancy toy! Moss'y has been away from Job's Reality Distortion Field just long enough to start seeing the truth: Apple has less marketshare so it's products are inferior.
He rails:
"The company claims that the Touch can play music for up to 22 hours and video for up to five hours on a single battery charge, even with Wi-Fi turned on. But in my tests, using factory settings, music playback lasted just under 17 hours and video playback lasted just over four hours. Nearly every other iPod I’ve tested, including the new Nano, handily beat Apple’s battery claims."
"But it seems ridiculous to me to sell a powerful device with Wi-Fi and a huge screen, and to leave out things like an email program ..."
"unlike the iPhone, the Touch lacks volume-control buttons and a button on its earbuds for pausing or skipping songs. So you have to play, pause and skip songs by touching the screen ..."
The Mac Cultist would have us believe everything Apple does is perfect, BUT THAT JUST ISN'T TRUE! ... Just ask Walt.

The iPod Touch can only run songs for 17 hours?! What ever am I going to do on my trip from Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro? (sarcasm)
Sit and spin on your counterintuitive Zune.
