Also considering T10's 45 hour battery rating and T50's 52 hour, it does seem that iriver managed to implement a color screen that doesn't adversely affect battery life. T60's rated battery life is 19 hours, but that's due to its AAA as opposed to AA battery rather than the color screen. 19 hours is pretty good for a AAA player, other manufacturer's AAA players are not rated as high and that's without any color screen.

I'm no expert, but from what I've read, the T50 and T60 LCD is a dual scan passive matrix (DSTN), as opposed to modern active matrix (TFT). I suspect passive to be less power hungry than active, but I don't know enough on the subject matter.
