Language of this iPod update
I am waiting for my new iPod to arrive (10 GB PC version). If I do update it, assuming it still has an old software version, would the update change the language of the menus in my iPod? In the spanish Apple website they already put up this last update, and spanish does not appear in the list of languages...
Thanks in advance.

ipods
Okay, so I really have nothing to ask about the update but since I just checked the apple home page and they now have the info about a conference in june where panther will be unveiled, do you think I have to wait until then to get a new ipod?
I keep checking bestbuy (so I can get the 4 year plan) but they haven't gotten any more 20 gig ipods yet. Seems like this recent release may be a bandaid until the new ones are released that hopefully will have better battery performance. And don't tell me to check on tuesday...

I was trying to find all these different ways to try and drain the battery. I think I had found a solution which was to have a song play on continuous repeat until the battery wore off. That way, the HD never spun that required the most voltage. dunno...I'm glad Apple came out with this update at least
Another Improvement?
Something else I just noticed is that now while my iPod is fw charging, it constantly reads ok to disconnect instead of warning me not to. This won't exactly change my life but I thought I'd mention it.

Re: ipods
No, that's the World Wide Developer's Conference, which was just announced today that it has been moved from May 19th to June 23rd, simultainously screwing a whole bunch of people who already bought plane tickets and made hotel reservations. And, no, I'm not bitter... not completely anyway...

. And, no, I'm not bitter... not completely anyway...eeeeeeh.... I hope you know that mp4 is a video format! I don't think cameron diaz would look so good on the ipod lcd...
i just hate people who say something without thinking it through, the order is: 1. think 2. talk not the other way around!!
ps.I'm sorry if my aggretions against USA or G.Bush will go out on you, but I just hate the guy, sorry, somebody gotta take the ****..
If you must get all technical, MP4 is a movie codec accompanied by AAC audio, so MP4 audio would imply AAC. I would rather have Ogg Vorbis support but I doubt that will ever come.
Look at the war this way, cheaper gas. That justifies all of it. If your not in the US then u don't get cheaper gas cus u didn't help. so ha.
Well I look at the war this way, Saddam should get crushed, yes. But what I don't like is Bush's ignorance to the FN. Also he sounds so dumb all the time, and I can puke on all this god bless america crap, there are other countries also you know... yuck(whiping my hands on my sweater because it's so disgusting). This is what I think Bush thinks of the world(http://fun.drno.de/pics/english/america_big.gif), no offence, but isn't the brightes one I've seen..
Guys, keep this on topic, if you want to talk politics, there's a whole subforum for it.

The gas market is a global market. If it gets cheaper in one country it will in the rest of the world too.
Getting back to the topic of iPods...
I think Apple HAD to fix the battery problem before they could even look at releasing new iPods. The iPod community was screaming, thousands of iPods had been sent back for repair and replacement and Apple couldn't ignore the issue anymore.
Now that this is solved, we can pave the way for new iPods with increased functionality. If the battery dies all the updates and enhancments in the world are useless.
I think Apple will give the iPod community a few weeks to try the update make sure everything is working and gain their confidence back in the product. Then they'll come up with the new iPods. I'm waiting till WWDC and MacWorld before I buy.
Also, for those of you having issues with the update, If you check out the iPod section of the Apple discussion boards there are a number of good posts on the subject with lots of fixes and discussion on the effectivness of the update.

I hope this is true, but I hope it comes before WWDC I need to have one in my hand by July 1st. Also, if they release the iPods this late, just before Macworld. I doubt they would have new ones at Macworld. A lot of people get pissed when the do that, so I think they will try to increase the time. Besides, on ThinkSecret there was a rumor that Macworld will be much smaller this year. They said it won't even include a keynote from Stevey. This means that they may release products just before MacWorld so the people at Macworld can use them.
tjwett are you still having problems?
I was too scared to try 1.2.6 after reading your post, but I got bored so I installed it, and no problems for me. Ipod is now 1.2.6.
