Awesome! Very excited for the guidebook. Now if the battery life can just last me more than two hours. I don't think it's so much a knock on the device as much as how much I use it. Texting, reading news, forums, music, email, calls, YouTube, and now guidebook all combine to destroy my battery life. I had to buy an external aaa battery charger and some rechargable aaas.

The only concern with the guidebook app is that keeping an ipod charged can be a real pain in the ass. If its cold outside, your device will loose a lot of charge overnight. If the only charge coming in is during the drive to/from the crag, you probably won't have enough for the whole day. sure would suck to lose all beta around pitch 3 of the day...

aaa battery charger, I looked, but could only find one at the apple store. I'm sure they're online now for cheaper. Reacharge it at the crag. AA would be better, but I couldn't find one of those.

I get several charges out of this. It also has multiple ends that can charge just about anything. The only drawback is it's a rechargeable battery, itself. After your iPod has died a few times, it is done whereas the battery chargers are good for as many batteries as you have.

Xtant, do you have an iPhone? With the newest iPhone, it cancer picky about charging. It expect to see a certain voltage on the data pins and a lot of third party chargers won't work.

also, some chargers can swell the internal batteries in the phone or pod and void any warranties.

so I took my phone to the apple store about the speaker problem I was having and they replaced without even thinking about it. Pretty coo so I am back to being very happy with my phone.
However I did loose all my phone numbers in the process doh (not because of apple but a stupid mistake on my part)
