- Also if you double click your home button and then hold your finger on the app like your gonna delete it then hit the - sign it will not just sit there and waste you battery. :) [As noted a few times in this comment thread, this is not accurate. It's a common belief that this is a way to save battery, and while that is sometimes true on Android phones, on iPhones and iOS devices, it's not. -- Sam]

Battery life stats
- Here's some numbers: With WiFi turned off, in 14 hours my battery dropped no more than 5%, maybe a lot less. With WiFi on, it dropped 20% in 6 hours. A shame, since I use my iTouch on the job to get email when away from my desk.

- All you need to do is turn down the light. It will last all day and just put it on sleep mode when not using. Believe me, works great.

Battery charging
- I noticed that someone said only charge your battery when it absoulutly needs it. That is untrue. The type of battery the iPod and iPhone use lasts longer when you keep it topped off. You should only run your battery down completly once a month and you can find all this info on Apple's website.

Battery life
- iOS now has multitasking so all the apps you use get suspended but not turned off... Double tap the home button to see the apps that are on in the background... To turn them off simply pause your finger on one of them and a minus sign will appear.... Press on the minus sign on the apps you are not using to turn them off... Battery will last longer.

- Go to settings, turn your brightness as low as possible, Turn your bluetooth off, Turn your wifi off when your not using it, Go to general settings and turn your auto lock to one minute. Then in Network you should enable your 3G. turn it off. Fetch new data, change to manually, Turn your push off. Turn airplane mode off, Turn your location services off. That is back into General settings. Turn your EQ off, Go into your sound settings and turn ALL SOUND OFF. It will not affect your music. last Turn vibrate off, Your battery will last much longer(:

OMG
- i would keep your iPod on and set the auto-lock to 1 min to save battery life. when you're listening to music, sleep your iPod and just press the home button twice to switch the song... you don't even have to turn it on....... pretty awesome........ hope this helps.... Englandiscool......

TIPS RECAP
- These are all amazing tips! Here is a recap from what everyone has stated so far: - overcharging kills the battery. Charge it only when you need to. - make sure apps are closed. If you want to make sure they are completely closed turn off your itouch, turn it back on bit leave it in sleep mode. - lock your itouch. Aka, put it to sleep. It saves a lot of battery. - if you select a playlist and sleep your itouch then you will lose just about 1-2% battery life per hour. Don't change or interact with your itouch. It will use more battery that way. - simply give your battery a break. Sleep it or run it off for an hour or so a day without using it. It will cool down the battery and save juice - use auto brightness. When your outside it will try to make the screen brighter and will use more battery but it will make the best choice in saving battery over performance if used on auto brightness. - start up can use alot of battery. I'm out of characters soni will post another if I can.

Ugh
- I hate when people have there brightness all the way down it completely ruins the itouch experience... Anyway, only charge your ipod when absolutely needed over charging kills the battery.
