This is awesome!  I can't wait for the new 442 v2!  Sometimes being a packrat is a good thing.  I still have my original box and its contents.  Woot!

Thanx.  I've made it a policy to have the device plugged in whenever i do data transfers now.

Hey!

I just got the Neuros 442 and I love it ... I think.

I'm having a few problems with data transfer to and from my PC, but I think that's a PC problem since I also had problems with the 60g Video iPod (I went through 3 of them before getting the 442.  It's probably due to the enormous amount of peripherials I have setup on my PC via the USB ports).  I solved that by just sending files to my wife's PC via our home network and copying from her PC to the 442.  Aside from the slow speed [She doesn't have 2.0 ports], it works like a dream.  I am having one problem though...

How much battery time are we supposed to get during copying of files and how long does a full charge take?  When I recieved it the battery was reading at slightly over half full.  I brought it up to a full charge (which took around 4 hours) and spent a few hours converting, copying, testing, etc (around 3 hours with the device actually being on) and the battery is reading in one bar in the red.  Aren't we supposed to get 9 hours audio and 5 hours video?  Should I run this battery down and let it shut itself off before I charge again?  I am planning on buying spare batteries soon, but I was hopin this one would at least last the stated 2 years.

Any thoughts?
