can someone tell me some advices?
please help!

A: This is pretty much standard techniques for both iPod and Zune

Step 1:
If you’re not going to be using your Zune for several hours, conserve battery power by shutting the device down. To do this, press and hold the down direction on the D-pad, while at the same time holding down the back button. In three seconds, your Zune will completely power down. When you do power the Zune back on, it will temporarily display the “Zune” logo, before switching to the screen menu.

Step 2:
Reducing backlight time is another good way to conserve power. To do this, go to SETTINGS, and then DISPLAY. Highlight the BACKLIGHT option and click the select button. The choices are: 1 SECOND, 5 SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, 30 SECONDS, and 1 MINUTE. For optimal battery life use the settings below 30 seconds.

Step 3:
Dialing down the overall brightness of the display also goes a long way towards stretching its life. To do this, go to SETTINGS, then DISPLAY. Highlight BRIGHTNESS and click. There are 3 settings: LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. For optimal battery life use the LOW setting.

Step 4:
The Zune's wireless capabilities are a drain on battery life. Click SETTINGS, and then WIRELESS. Select the OFF option.

Step 5:
Using the built-in equalizer uses more battery power than leaving it off. Click SETTINGS, and then MUSIC. From this menu go all the way down to EQUALIZER. Toggle the equalizer setting until it displays NONE.

Step 6:
Enjoy movies and pics in moderation. The more you interact with your Zune, the faster you use up its battery. Keep heavy display-based applications to a minimum.

Gadget Gifts for the 2009 Holiday Season The American Lawyer

This holiday season may not bring us any revolutionary new gadget (no Apple tablet -- yet), but some existing products are getting significant updates or new accessories that boost their performance. Heck, even Microsoft now has a media player that you can call stylish while keeping a straight face. Here are some of the most noteworthy new offerings -- year-end purchases that, in most cases, won't eat up a year-end bonus.

Sony PSP Go (Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., $250). When it was announced earlier this year, the PSP Go garnered the last thing a marketing department wants: head-scratching. And little wonder. Here was a redesign of a product that never really met expectations -- Sony's $170 PlayStation Portable -- yet was more expensive, with less functionality, than its predecessor. In the blogosphere, the technical term was: Huh?

To shrink the bulky PSP down to an iPhone-like size, Sony had to get rid of the unit's optical drive and choose a download-only delivery model for games, movies, and TV shows (to store them, Sony added 16 gigabytes of flash memory). That approach has been a gold mine for Apple, but Sony's problem was that millions of discs (called UMDs) were already out there, and they'd all be useless on the Go. Making matters worse, the company declined to let existing PSP owners download free copies of games they already owned. So if you had a disc of "Need for Speed" and wanted to play it on your new PSP Go, you had to buy a digital copy, at full price -- not a great way to reward customer loyalty.
