Hi everyone:

The product itself is very accessible, however, the iTunes software is not,
at least with the jaws version i'm using.(4.51)


my brother-in-law has 6.0 and it seemed to read the screen better.

As farr as the battery, it apparently goes down to 80% of its capacity after
about400 charge cycles.
This would mean from 12 hours to about 9.
of course, 9 hours per charge isn't bad.

Based on how i plan to use it, i won't have to replace my battery for a few
years.
 Assuming it is not defedtive, i should be all set.

I've been tinkering with my fiancee's shuffle, mine has not shipped out yet.
