scott i can tell you right now this isn't possible.
apple tell me after my suggestion it will be incorporated at some point in
the future.
I ran my ipod down to someone with sight told me around 10 percent or
someting and no announcements were heard.
For what apple have done, this is a minor inconveenience and I wouldn't be
put off simply because of a simple battery status issue.
If everyone thought like this, you wouldn't buy anything new. the fact that
all the stuff on the nano we want can be used in a bonus in itself.

Hi Ester,
I'll be surprised and perhaps a little disappointed if there's no way
at all of accessing battery status. My bet is that if it announces
charging and charged, it'll give out announcements at certain points
like "battery level 50%" as the battery wears down. Could you keep an
ear out for that and report back if it's the case? It's not quite as
cool as being able to check it at will, but the battery life on iPods
is so good nowadays that to me it's no big deal if this is how Apple
have worked it, announcements downward from 50% would give you a
couple of reasonable length journeys probably and enough time to
remember to whack it on charge for a bit. Unless of course you make
hideously long journeys and aren't sure whether you need to charge
before you depart, but in that case the power monkey is your friend I
guess hehe.
Anyway, let us know if you hear any battery level indication. Here's
hoping...
Scott

be pacient my man it will be done when it's done hopefully this
weekend but i'd like to learn more before doing a rushed rview.
i'm not like freedom scientific who rush a release of jaws out
because marketing dictates it. i want to do a professional sounding
review and I want to make sure it sounds professional and i still am
working on how to capture the audio from the nano through the mac
and record both.
it willl be done when it's done and i'll be sure to announce it when
ready.
i like to do a good job on these things and not rush it.

When I left the 4G Nano attached to the MacBook (ejected after
the sync, but still connected via USB cable to charge), as I was
typing up notes about usage. I heard "Charging" through the
earphones, and then later on "Charged". I didn't touch any of
the menus to the Nano, since at that time I was actually not
playing the 4G iPod -- just had the earrbuds in while I was still
working on the Macbook.
Cheers,

HI again Esther.
did you say when your charging the 4g ipod, it says charging?
I assume you have to access the menus to hear this?
