iPod Firmware Update

Posted by pudge on from the nice-n-firm dept.

micah_lanier writes "I noticed that the new iPod hardware version was mentioned, but for all of us current owners, version 1.1 of the iPod firmware is available and was released alongside the new hardware. It adds all of the new improvements from the recently-released iPods (but not the 10 GB drives and laser engravings)."

    I hacked together a little Cocoa app that allows storing arbitrary text files in the Contacts directory (not just business cards from Entourage and Mail). Get it, try it, send me feedback.

    You know, I remember reading that somewhere too, but I just checked Toshiba's website and the specs they publish for the 1.8" embedded HDs. All of them (5, 10, & 20GB) are listed as 5mm thick, with the same height and width. Unless the specs on Toshiba's website are wrong, then it should be possible to put on in an iPod.

    Start your engines geeks. First one with a 20GB iPod wins!

    you have to manually drag vCards you want on your iPod from the Address book or Entourage, rather than automatically syncing them

    Well, you can download the iPod AppleScripts that grab all of your contacts from Entourage or Address Book in one go, to make this easier on you.

    I don't want Contacts taking up a top menu spot.

    Was "About" any better?

    I'd far rather have an albums category, for all the compilation albums which are not by the same artist

    It's one more step, but just select "Artists" then "All" to get a list of albums.
