iPod Software 1.2.6 update available

This dot-fix provides improved battery life through better charge monitoring
Apple, the mother of all motherships, has released iPod Software 1.2.6, which provides
improved battery management by solving a problem that may appear to shorten an iPod?s
battery life.
According to Apple, some users have reported that over time their iPod?s battery life
has declined. This update enables the iPod to more accurately monitor its battery
charge, thus using the entire battery capacity and regaining long battery life. The
result is longer playback time and extended standby time.
"After updating the iPod, customers can expect at least 10 days of standby battery
life on a full charge," Apple promises.
Prior to this update, some iPods would sometimes mistake a temporary low voltage
condition as an indication that the battery was discharged. This resulted in the iPod
shutting down prematurely, even though the battery was still capable of powering the
iPod.
