QUESTION: Gigabeat owners, users; friend of one who owns...!

by ebegeebeez Dec 6, 2005 7:20AM PST

Interested in purchasing the gigabeat, i looked at its specs here on Cnet. It said that it had a battery recharge time of 16 HOURS!! Is this accurate? Maybe they got it mixed up with batt. LIFE (16 hours)?

Electric cars take about 24 hours to recharge and 16 is more than half of that time for a small electronic device. I don't think that's mechanically possible at this day and age.
