Zune and iPod Almost Equal in Battery Life

The new Zunes have similar battery life to the new ipods, and here are the facts:

• The new Zune 80 gets 30 hours of audio playback, and 4 hours of video playback
• The ipod Classic gets 30 hours of audio playback, and 5 hours of video playback


• The flash Zune gets 24 hours of audio playback and 4 hours of video playback
• The iPod Nano gets 24 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video playback

I assume the Zune gets one hour less of battery life on video playback because of the larger screen . I would rather watch video content on a nice screen for 4 hours than to have to squint for 5 hours while trying to watch videos from an Ipod. What do you think you would rather have, a larger screen or better battery life?

Lets face it, I would never watch a full length TV show or movie on the ipod classic. I watch both on my zune all the time.
