Microsoft Zune 80 / 120 in the same list?

I have both a Zune 80 and 120. I "get" why they are in the same list but I don't think they should be?

I feel for you man, it bugs me so much! However, there is literally zero difference between them except one has 40 gb more storage.

Except the 120 doesn't have the silver bezel around the Zunepad, or have a Silver-back as it is an all-black device by default, and the Zune 80 always has a silver back. But internally they are the same except the HDD probably a couple of other internal components.

and the 120 has a longer rated battery life for music, plus a screen with a higher colour depth.

No kidding? I have the 120 and the battery isn't bad, but it always goes from half-charged to completely drained without any warning. No 1/3 charge or almost empty. Is this typical or do I have a defective battery?

It depends on what your doing with your Zune. In my case I can go ALL day without lossing my battery which equates to about ~4-5 hours of music/radio/audio/Video podcast. If your using a lot of video you will cut that in half given your powering the screen as well. When I do come to a dead Zune I think its because I left something running; however I have had times when I didnt charge it overnight and it seems to be mysteriously dead. I chalk this up to me not stopping something from running. Even when I am getting a low bettery warning I can still listen to audio podcasts for hours.

It seems to fairly displaya the current batterly life although I would rather have a percent displayed over a graphic. You can in theory get over 20 hours of life from it. www.zunerama.com­/forum­/index.php­?topic­=11119.0

In settings on the Zune try this:
-Turn your wireless off if you don't need it all day long
-Set yoru backlight to 15 seconds
-Set your brightness to Medium (still easily viewable unless your in 100% direct sunlight)

Hope this helps....
