Don't recall seeing this mentioned here. I just noticed it and downloaded/installed. Playing around to see what the changes are.

iPod Software 1.2.1 fixes a problem with the battery icon. It now correctly indicates a full charge.

I own a 5gig iPod, and it has the same problem (weird noise as you described) when it's plugged in and my mac goes to 'sleep' mode...but it occurs only sometimes, and when you plug it off, it's fine... no clue what this is, but my warranty is over for about half a year anwaysOriginally posted by newmanium

Actually I bought it quite recently (last saturday). But instead of going through the Apple, I opted to go through CompUsa and got it there. why, you ask? easy, because they offer something Apple doesn't, a product replacement plan. If anything happens to your ipod, instant new one, no questions asked.

... umm thats horse****. i accidentilly busted a plastic ring around the headphone jack on my iPod (an original - warranty expired long ago) - which rendered a purchased iPod remote unusable. I took it to the Apple Store & hoped the repair wouldn't cost too much.
they gave me a BRAND NEW iPod - no questions asked. on the spot. they transfered my files from the HD (non-audio) and sent that one back to Apple for repairs and to sell to someone else as a refurb.
Trying to enter anything into the iPod with only the scrool wheel and buttons would be a total nightmare, it'd take 4ever!Originally posted by samdweck
1.2.1 has nothing new and exciting in it, I wonder if they will have another major update soon? 1.3? 1.5? 2.0???!!! It would be great if u could enter an address into the pod via the pod, not the comp or isync, it would be so cool, like a palm pilot!

Naw, I don't think it would be TOO bad! Just use the scroll wheel to scroll through the letters, have the pause button be a case shifter and the menu button to delete, the forward and reverse buttons for navigation through the entry, and the center button to enter.
Sure, it would take awhile, but that's assuming we don't use it like a PDA! Only to maybe enter in a new contact's phone number for instance. Or change an MP3's ID3 tag. I think it's a little bit inconvenient to only allow remote input to the iPod. I think we should at least have the OPTION of local input.

I don't think it would be that bad. People type whole e-mails on their cell phone. Now i consider that to be a nightmare. Using the scroll wheel to select letter would be pretty cool i think.

yeah i was really just kidding about the keyboard... not to mention, the fw port is at the top of the ipod so it would kind of be wierd. however, i could see other types of peripherals being added through that port like a mic or somethin...
