2GB on each computer. Yes, it flies once iTunes loads and caches all the album art. Otherwise, I had to sit there for about 10 mins scrolling each album individually to force iTunes to load and cache them, which I just did, on each computer, because I was bored.

I mean that I have to scroll through each album slowly and wait for iTunes to load the album art, and then move to the next album, and repeat until I go through all 100+ artists and iTunes finally caches all the album art.

I would rather see the 6G iPod be the same size as the 5G but have a scroll wheel the size of the nano's in order to make room for a larger widescreen LCD to fill up the remaining space. An updated GUI that is less plain and boring would be nice too. Please, no greasy touch screen.

It is thinner, but only slightly. It's just barely thinner than the dock connector on the USB cable.

I had a 1GB Zen Nano Plus for a while. It was worth $120 that I paid for it back then. Nowadays, I think it runs around $70 (what's that, like 35€ or so ?) which is a great deal. It uses a AAA battery, but just get rechargables so you can change them out whenever need be.

I got a new Sansa e260 (4GB) for $155 total from Office Depot, not counting a $16 rebate. Great price. It came with the latest firmware version installed. However, it was returned two days later... The display was awesome, bright, and vibrant compared to the iPod nano. FM radio sounded...

It's actually $30, and the shoes are priced like regular Nike shoes.

That's what I thought. But then I plugged a Creative Zen Nano Plus into a Mac and it showed up in iTunes. edit: On a Mac, that is. I don't know about Windows.

Have your iPod plugged in. Quit iTunes. Press CTRL, ALT, DEL and end the processes iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Then run iTunes again and see what happens.

I think the author, the author's references, and I have the same magic crystal ball from Walmart.

So the real question is, would you get that kind of service if you bought the Apple version?

Just download the iPod Updater for Windows, run it, do a restore, and that's it. It'll work with iTunes and whatever other software like any iPod.

I have a brand new 2G 10GB model (close enough to the original, but with the touch scroll wheel and real nice big buttons) that hasn't been used. I bought it a few months ago because I thought it was cool.
