We've got some solid numbers on the battery life of Microsoft's Zune portable media player now. With pretty much nothing but music playing (that's no LCD backlight, no wireless, no volume adjustment, no switching songs manually, etc.), the Zune will give you about 14 hours of battery life for audio. Turn on the wireless and that goes down to 13 hours, which is still pretty good. As a comparison, the 5.5G iPod has the same rated battery life of 14 hours for the 30GB version, while the 80GB version runs for 20 hours.
Video playback will have a battery life of 4 hours. It's just slightly higher than the 30GB iPod's 3.5 hours, but significantly lower than the 80GB version at 6.5 hours. Whether or not the 4 hours is with or without wireless is unknown.
