Thank you! Much appreciated.

Well, ThinkSecret (linky) seems to believe that 2G Ipod Minis (5gb, new colours?) will appear in the next month or two. But the 5G Ipod's will be a longer wait (sometime during the…

If I understand correctly, there's earphones, a dock with a data port and line out, a charger with a FireWire port, an iPod->FW cable and an iPod->USB2 cable. I want to buy …

Hmm, no replies. OK, I'll try to shorten it: � is the iPod's data port the same port as the on the back of the dock? � is the included FireWire cable the same cable you use to h…

yes and yes. i have bought another f.w. cable so that i can charge the iPod when at work with the brick and the original is attached to the dock for synching with my mac and char…

thanks!

Another thing is that the ipod does not get re-synced each time it only gets updated from the itunes machine. So if you have a 40 gig,the first time will take a while to sync but a…

audvidsvs, thanks for the reminder. I know it doesn't have to write the full 40GB each time it syncs, since it does a differential sync. But still, a lossless encoded CD is about 2…

Is there any way to hard wire an iPod in your car so that it will power up and play when you turn the car on? I�m looking at getting an iPod for the car, but cannot see taking it t…

How's that for an informative subject line? ;-) Anyway, I need to hire an expert RealBasic developer to make a RSS creation and management system for my company. In many ways, it…

Is RealBasic a requirement? I mean, why not Java, or any other language?

Yes, RealBasic is a requirement. I need to use RealBasic for many reasons, including cross-platform compatibility.

What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java.

Actually, it's because I need to learn RealBasic for another project -- so I'd like all my apps to be in the same language.

>What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java. I can. Java apps feel icky (IMO) the interface is a little off, the way it starts is a little off …

Yeah, same here. To me, Java apps just don't feel like "real" software (no pun intended).

OT (sorry) Are RB apps real compiled apps on all platforms, or are they like old VB apps which are interpreted...? Are they slow?

I'm pretty sure RealBasic is a compiled language, since (if I recall) you have to create different executables for each platform you want to run it on. So it doesn't seem to be int…
