Sync Your iPod on Linux

They are looking for beta testers of the xpod software now. I have a dual boot box that has only gone into Windows lately to load my iPod with the betas of XPlay. I held out on making the final purchase of XPlay due to rumours of Apple coming out with their own Windows software at MacWorld New York. This is an even better reason to wait. I am very excited about a chance to measure uptime in months again!"

yeah,but that's all you can use...

That's funny. On mine-- right this second-- I'm using XEmacs, GCC, and XFree86 to work on a new GTK application, Tomcat for Java servlets development, Outlook for talking to the idiots^Wcolleagues on the business side of things, and Maya for playing with a dynamics simulation in the background while I compile. Oh, and OmniWeb for posting this.

I didn't realize that all I was supposed to be using was my iPod. Better shut some stuff down....
