As far as I can remember, the Milestone's latest upgrade greatly increased
the battery time to I think around 20 hours.
Not sure it is quite that good, but I have used it for around 15 hours
without a recharge.

Hi David,
Thanks, that's the kind of real world info I need. Reading the Milestone
FAQ, it says the Milestone gives in excess of 6 hours playback when
listening to DAISY or MP3. This does not seem much?
