We'll just have to agree to disagree. "Discussion" closed.

If the iPhone is really so impressive,
why do iFans keep making excuses for it?

how often do you do that? going to australia is not something people do
on a regular basis. the ipod nano is rated for 24 hours of music
playback and that's enough for a round trip to australia. or just buy
an airline adapter. so yes, it happens but it's very rare.

the battery is rated for 5 years, but in any event, there are battery
replacement kits or you can have it replaced.

You could of course get a low cost battery extender,
which works quite well.

many of them snap on and add very little extra bulk, but since this is
for a plane flight to australia, you don't need to throw it in a shirt
pocket. keep trying though, it's entertaining.

there are *lots* of ipod battery extenders and the connector is used by
thousands of accessories. or, you can get something that has a usb port
and use the included cable, although that's far less elegant. not even
a good attempt.
