As we all know, such rosy estimates are seldom entirely accurate, even for products as good as the iPod.

Belkin makes a Battery Pack ($59) that takes four AA batteries and provides an additional 12 to 15 hours of life for full- size iPods (not the iPod mini); and Apple's iPod shuffle Battery Pack ($29) extends the life of your iPod shuffle by up to 20 hours with two AAA batteries.
