Just some information I picked up.

The 10 hours for video and 1 month standby has widely been reported.

What hasn't been so widely reported is the 140 hours of continuous music playback.

Less impressive is the 10 hours for ebooks. This seems strange as decoding H.264 should be more intensive than displaying a book. The obvious conclusion is the screen is the real drain.

Steve says this video “our chips hardly use any power”.
