Over the past few days, I noticed that every time I picked up my 60 GB video iPod, the battery was completely drained. Odd, considering the iPod is supposed to shut itself down. So after a little googling around, I found an entry that said it’s a firmware issue, where it won’t shut down automatically AND you can’t shut it off by holding down the play button either.

To temporarily remedy the problem, your iPod needs to be rebooted by holding down the center button and the MENU button at the same time. This will force your iPod to reboot and will reset things, enabling you to turn your iPod off.

Weird problem. I guess this is going to force me to keep a watchful eye on my iPod so that I’ve always got good battery life.
