Lol, thanks Randman.... I guess I can still hope for a firmware update sometime in the future, it has to at least be possible.

So I pretty rarely use my ipod as regular storage, but it does happen on occasion. I've considered just turning on the disc usage when I need it, and then turn it back off when I'm…

Yes. If you turn able to turn off disk usage, you wouldn't have access to the files on the iPod hard drive so iTunes prevents you from doing this. Why would you want to do this a…

ok, the photo line has been updated, a 30gb and the old 60gb model now, with lowered prices and far less packed-in accessories. No firewire cable, no a/v cable, no dock, no case. b…

and you felt the new iPod Photo warranted two threads? thanks for that.

ipod Photo 40 GB = $499 w/ dock, a/v cable, firewire ipod Photo 30 GB = $349 + dock $39 + a/v cable $19 + Firewire cable $19 = $426 Not really a price drop with 10GB less storage…

I find the price drop interesting. I don't need a dock, AV cable or firewire. I've got USB 2.0 on all my computers. The main reason I'd buy a iPod photo is for the color screen.…

A 60GB iPod photo for me then. With a student discount, the prize is knocked off another $45 over here. Since it "charges over USB 2", it works just like FW right? (assuming the M…

This new iPod and iPod mini news makes me happy. Now that they have killed the 40GB regular iPod, my 3G 40GB iPod is special once again! There are no 40GB iPods to be had! Only …

Can anybody help me answer a basic question? I can't find specs on this anywhere. Is the 60GB iPod Photo changed in any way from a hardware standpoint? I'm trying to figure out i…

For once I don't get shafted! I have the 40 GB iPod photo that I got for Xmas, and it appears that the new iPod photos havent changed anything significant, and best of all, they …

WORST IPOD UPDATE EVER!
