    'Charge cycles', 'memory effect' and all that stuff were a problem at one time with the old NiCad variants, This could be significant if your battery cost several hundred quid/bucks and was for a Beta camcorder or somesuch. Several studies were published when Lithium based batteries were introduced to show that these do not exhibit these effects.



    iPods can get confused as to the charge in the battery over multiple cycles and will an incorrect reading on the bars. A reset (MENU and PAUSE/PLAY buttons held down together for a few seconds) will usually clear this.

    we all know that the current video iPod uses a broadcom 2722/2724 chip

    for H.264 decode.



    has broadcom yet updated this series to jam in 802.11?

    (running analog composite wires out the headphone jack is

    getting a bit old).



    i'm not worried about power since iPod -> iTV would bypass the decoder

    and use the battery for 802.11.
