I am very pleased with my new 4th generation Ipod Photo. The screen is brilliant and the battery life is phenomenal. I simply never run out of juice.

Avoid-Automatic-Pause Tip:
There is a great feature in the new Ipods that pauses playback if the headphones become unplugged. Say you are listening to an audiobook and you catch your headphone wire on something and the plug pops out. No worries. You don’t miss a single word because the playback pauses automatically. This usually works very well, however I’ve noticed that the feature can be quite sensitive when using non-apple headphones. Sometimes, when you go to tuck away your Ipod after choosing your song, jostling the plug in the slightest pauses your playback. Then you have to dig it out again and press play only to nudge the headphone jack again and (damn!) auto-pause. What to do?

To avoid this, simply unplug your headphones. Press the play button while your headphones are unplugged. You can now plug and unplug your headphones at will without inadvertently pausing.
