This is weird. I had my iPod (v3 15gb) fully charged last night and I turned it off and put the hold switch ON.

I went to use it this morning, turned the hold switch OFF and then pressed play, only to find that the battery was dead.

What gives? I thought when the hold switch was on, only a miniscule amount of power was drained. Apples says the following:

"Even in sleep, iPod uses a small amount of current, and the battery slowly empties. Stored at optimal storage temperature, the battery will empty in 14 to 28 days."

We're not talking 14-28 days -- we're talking 8 hours!!

I noticed at least one other posting on this forum with someone who experienced the same thing. And in fact, when their hold switch was ON, the battery stayed charged. I called Apple and that is most definitely the OPPOSTITE of what should happen.

Anyone else experiencing this problem with the hold switch draingin the battery overnight??
