Nah, it wouldn’t. Some open locations are there to leach your info and random things like that. Got to be careful.
My iTouch sees battery life closer to SuperHal’s. It does ok with music or reading, but games or video get about 4 hours of use. I charge it almost every day.
Aside from that, it’s a miracle which fits in your pocket. If you can get one for under $150 it’s a steal.
