Question ipod touch battery life

Hi,

I'm contemplating buying an ipod touch, to join my collection of Sony Walkman's & have been roaming the forums trying to find info on battery life for the ipod touch but cannot find it.
Can somebody please advise how long a fully charged battery lasts playing only audio?
Also, is there a charge for internet browsing, or is it free through wifi hotspots?
Thirdly, whilst I'm asking: How do you watch films/programmes? Are they downloaded, streamed, purchased or free?

Thanks in advance.

My thoughts:

Battery life is excellent. I haven't listened for more than about 8 hours without recharging, but the battery monitor was still well over 50%.

Internet browsing is just like a laptop - if you can find a free hotspot, it's free.

Watching films? I rip them from DVDs and then watch them. I have never downloaded or paid for anything.

Does that help?

Alan
