how's the battery on this thing?For video - it's highly dependant on what type you are running on it - higher resolution and bitrate are more CPU intensive so less battery life. Running the Wireless-G connection is also hard on the battery.

I have one of these (80GB version) and the battery is decent. I get about 4 hours or so on video. Internet is great but you will need to buy a $30 plug-in from Archos to use it.
