    Oh, gosh, well if you heard about it online, then it must be true....



    maybe they just didn't try hard enough...and the only way you can really know is if you try...

    Oh absolutely.



    I mean, *I* heard online that if you hold a stick of dynamite in your hand and light it, it'll blow your arm off! Here, why don't you try it and tell us how it goes... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />



    Different hardware is more likely than not going to require different firmware. Wait for the updater... or not. Heck, it's not *my* iPod you might be toasting. Go for it!

    trust me, i have read them all...but there are a couple of options to install the firmware, and i would like to test them out...and yes, it was a smartass remark, but i hate when people quote undocumented sources when saying you "can't do that"...there are many ways to skin a cat...

    If you guys manage to get it working...let me know, please. Although I think Aplle will release the 1.2 update by the time you get it.



    But why not have fun? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    cool thing about iPod is it is so fast to add all your data back to it....play away!

    Ok, well that file isn't actually the firmware - it contains it, but its actually the hidden volume found on your ipod...i think you might be able to extract the firmware from it tho, i'll let you know....

    When will iPods play MP4? I say again Paul, doesn't 8000 songs in your pocket sound better than 4000? Steve spent a long time hyping MP4 at MWNY, so he should put his money where his mouth is. If iTunes and QT 6 have it, why not the iPod?

    i've tried to cut it apart, with the same results as some. i just can't decipher the disc image files from the file - it seems there is no 5 gig image - but i just cant tell - but the size (32 meg) seems to indicate it just contains the 10 and 20 gig image, and, alas, i have only a measley 5 gig. i cut the firmware out of the file rather unscientifically, and it seemed to semi work, so i think it's the lack of 5 gig disc image, rather than the firmware that is the holdback...i could be completely wrong tho...

    oh and when it says "do not disconnect" after its been installed, thats just the new warning message to make sure you eject it before disconnecting. i stared at this son of a bitch for a good 25 minutes before getting clued in that it was done installing... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    Ok I have a question on the new software...

    The clock's been at midnight New Year's Day for the past 45 minutes... is the clock not available on old iPods, or do we need iCal first to get the clock to work?

    Lots of new features: Calendar, clock, alarms (??).

    MCQ: Go to "Settings", click on Date & Time, Set Time Zone and then set Date and Time.

    The game is no longer hidden, it's in the extras menu. At first I got scared when I couldn't access the game from the legal screen. I wonder if they'll add new games at some point, it would be awesome if they let developers write games for the iPod, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

    Thanks!



    I had just assumed it would get the time from whatever computer it syncs with. I just started looking through the settings, and there it was

    I just got the 1.2 update, everything works on the original 5 gb iPod. (including the clock) The one thing that doesn't work is that different songs show up in the most played smart playlist compared to the iTunes one. Once iCalc is released the iPod will almost become the Apple PDA. What do you think is next for the iPod, audio input?
