Battery life seems better, but I haven't had the time to do any in-depth battery testing. I did notice that the 2.0 firmware will actually allow the GP2X to connect to my laptop at high speed instead of the slow USB1 speeds it connected at with the 1.4 firmware. It's still not as reliable as using a card reader, but it's the only way to access the NAND memory. (Not like you can fit much in there *anyway*, but ...) I’ve updated the firmware in my GP2X to 2.0.

Use. 2500 NiMh batteries... nothing else will do as well. The 2.0 firmware fixes the battery drain problem. Use. 2500 NiMh batteries… nothing else will do as well.
