    You know how you can now buy games from iTunes for $4.99. Although I think the price is a bit high per game, it's still a good idea, however, will playing these games drain your ipod's battery as fast as watching movies? Because I know you can be lucky if you get 2 hours of video watching out of the Ipod, but what about games?

    I havn't downloaded any of the games, but I would say it would be pretty close to watching a Video, but probably inbetween a slideshow and a movie. Playing a game is memory intensive for the iPod which makes it battery draining but I would guess it doesn't use as much energy as watching a movie from my game playing experiences through rockbox.

    i bought pac man,
    im not sure it was worth the five dollars, but its still something to do.
    it does drain the battery a bit if you play for extended times, but i doubt youll sit there and play for hours on end anyway as it gets a bit boring after a while, its better for times when you are waiting etc.

    anyway who doesn't have a car charger for ipod anyway?
