Someone told me that they are getting 5 hours of battery life with all radios off on the Icon handheld without the Dock. Is that what others are getting? My main scenario I'd like to see a positive thing about is this: Let's say you have a long flight (and I fly across country twice a year and the longer flights of the two that I usually take to get to my destination last about 5 hours). Will the Icon's battery allow for you to listen to a book for the entire flight, and still have enough battery life to last a shorter 30 minute commuter flight before it conks out? Again, this is strictly for the handheld unit. I know that the manual states up to 8 hours but I'd like to see some responses from actual users, so that's why I'm asking you guys. Also, has anyone been in the situation that I'm usually in twice a year? _________________________________________________________________ The other season of giving begins 6/24/08.
