Apple iPod Update Increases Battery Life

Posted by pudge on from the mmmm-battery dept.

    I wish there was some feedback here before I update my iPod, to see if Apple messes something up on my system.

    I updated my 10 GB Mac iPod, and the updating process went smoothly. I have had no problems with the update. So go ahead and update. You should however always make backups if you want to be sure.

    I work for compusa and the 5gb ipod is DO1 status in our database, meaning it was discontinued... You wont be seeing it any time soon... 10gb ipod is the new 5gb..
