Is it possible for me to adjust the resolution to make the video even smaller? I can only watch movies on screens that are the size of a postage stamp.

I downloaded iTunes 5 and saw that there was an option for VBR AAC but it's grayed out. How do I activate it?

Could be that it wont work until you have the QT 7.0.2 update? Just a thought

*sigh* yes it is. I didn't install QT702 yet. I was waiting for issues with DiVX, 3ivx, and Toast to be resolved before I install QT702.

The iPod shuffle can do that automatically. Check out http://www.dougscripts.com for some AppleScripts for other iPods.

Someone needs to make a fully functional mens wallet with a slot for the Nano and some headphones. That would make for one less thing for me to remember as I walk out the door. It …

umm... Why don't you do it? Sounds like a great idea. Get a design down, find some manufacturer's and have at it. You could make a little money.
