Clickwheel seems much more responsive to me now. Coverflow is also smoother and faster to respond. Turning the ipod off is a bit slower, but that may be because it checks to make sure the hard drive is not spinning before it shuts down (a good thing).

You can turn off the clicking sound, if you didn't know. =)

I've updated my Classic's firmware to 1.0.3 and couldn't be happier. Really nice improvements. The best is the menus more responsives and the clickwheel way better ...

Do the reading before you jump and if the fixes out weigh the new problems go for it; if you are feeling lucky. Just my.02

I wouldn't let a few bad experiences stop you. Plenty of people have upgraded without any issues, myself included. If something happens (which unfortunately isn't unheard of at all with updates) you can always get it exchanged.

my photos also do not work anymore. thumbnails are still available but after clicking the photo doesn't show up - a little bit annoying...

but everything else is fine so far - improved gui-response time. last but not least they solved the "display-time-out-time"-bug

Good to hear it fixes the annoying interface lag.

Anyone know how large the download is?

For me, the big improvement is the battery consumption relief. I'd only be able to go 5-6 hours before needing to recharge. Supposedly, it was a problem with the spool down of the drive not happening while in cover view.

So far, so good.
