Unless it was a typo and is now fixed. But no worries. Still 20 hours with the Wifi on is pretty good. sorry I didn’t see the "OFF" mentioned in the article. Unless it was a typo and is now fixed.

The thing that really gets me is the fact that wifi on or off, I am not even using wifi. The difference in the test could have been just an anomoly. I really don't think the wifi circuitry is even on in either test. Even though I had it enabled in the 1st tests, I would be willing to bet that the circuitry goes to "sleep" when not in use. On the second test, I didn't wake the screens up as often since I knew approx when to start checking them this time around. Jaxim, the second test is with it off.

Expected better battery life than that with WiFi OFF. 2nd G Zune is losing too much battery with WiFi on. Results are fine. Expected better battery life than that with WiFi OFF.

2nd G Zune is losing too much battery with WiFi on.

I love watching tech podcast, so the info will help on how many i can squeeze into a given session. I’m really looking forward to the video test.

But with these tests, it looks like if I had the Zune80, I could continue to leave on the Wifi (which would thus support the "Social".) Are you going to do a test with the Wifi turned off? 20-24 hours is a great figure for the Zune 80 - and that’s with the wifi turned on.  I often turn off the wifi on my Zune because it sucks up so much battery.

Are you going to do a test with the Wifi turned off?
