Well... I finally bit the bullet and bought the Touch.
wow is this thing sexy...
I SAY, WOW IS THIS THING SEXY! .... CAN I GET AN A-MEN!
(had to get that out)
Day #1: was spent cuddling with the Touch and tweaking the fool out of it.
Day #2: I drive many hours a day (occupation) and I listen to audiobooks a lot! I listened to a book for about 5 hours total today, and went from 50% down to 10%. That includes 30 minutes of GPS time and another 30 minutes chatting while driving. Both GPS & headset are bluetooth.
Not plugged in during that time obviously. I wanted to see how long it would go...
Outlasted my trip

Just now had to plug it in for charging. Fantastic battery life.
Lovin' every second with it
