    How new is it? If it's still under the original 1-year warranty, you might be best off getting it looked at at an Apple store.

    Try pressing and holing the power button until you hear a beeping sound. Doing that causes a reset, it should help your problem. You might just need a fresh mount of the software.. Mark
    Constantly having to be tethered to a charger is NOT MOBILE in my opinion (I.e., iPhone 3GS battery).
