As for over-inflated battery claims, I've always been pretty impressed with Apple's estimates. I usually do a test when I get a new MP3 player that entails putting it on shuffle and repeat, 50% volume, and just letting it play. I monitor it throughout the day and see when the battery dies. I usually get a couple hours more than Apple's estimated battery life. Of course, this is without constant track skipping or having the screen on, but overall I think their estimates are very fair.
