robricc carpal tunnel Registered: 30/10/2000 Posts: 4931 Loc: New Jersey, USA	I missed the annoucement of the new iPod a couple days ago. 10GB, contact manager, no mention of Apple-made Windows software. http://www.betanews.com/article.php3?sid=1016770700 _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

You'll need access to a Mac to appy the update though... _________________________ Jazz (List 112, Mk2 42 gig #40. Mk1 4 gig #30. Mk3 1.6 16v)

You have always been able to use the iPod as a firewire drive, by ticking the box in iTunes (this mode is also used to put the contacts onto it!) I have a couple of hundred megs of software on mine, and it's never caused a problem. The best bit is they have fixed the track ending prematurely bug... =) _________________________ Jazz (List 112, Mk2 42 gig #40. Mk1 4 gig #30. Mk3 1.6 16v)

Jazzwire addict Registered: 09/06/1999 Posts: 483 Loc: Guernsey	That's just a side effect of the firewire disc support, it's not a glitch as such. =) Mind you, the iPod comes in a plastic wrapper with "Don't Steal Music" written on it. Maybe they need to update that to say "Don't Steal Music or Software". _________________________ Jazz (List 112, Mk2 42 gig #40. Mk1 4 gig #30. Mk3 1.6 16v)
