From what I've read, the Nike doohickey works on acceleration and deceleration. Seeing as where it's located, pressure seems like an odd choice for input. I don't know why one could not just put it securely in a key pouch attached to your laces. I like some of Nike's clothes, but I'm a Brooks Running guy, myself, as far as shoes go. I don't know how I feel about a pocket in the sole. Wouldn't there be lack of arch support?

As I've said in another thread, I'm not switching from my Saucony Hurricanes. My Nike+iPod kit is pre-ordered and I'm fairly certain that it will work just fine attached to my laces. There's only a notch cut into the Nike shoe for the transponder... nothing very high-tech.
 
I wonder what the iPod bug fixes were?

I was getting lockups using my 5G iPod with firmware revision 1.1.1, usually when playing Audible content. The problem still happens with 1.1.2, as I witnessed it this morning. I've also been getting occasional reboots when playing Audible or other MP3 files, which appeared to be some sort of buffering issue as they only occur after skipping or winding through a track - it's too early to tell if this has been fixed.

Is it just me or did your battery drop 35 minutes of charge in 5 minutes of time? :eek:
 
This isn't really about iTunes but about the iPod updater. I couldn't find this anywhere else so I will ask it here. On the apple site about this update it says, about the shuffle:
Features of iPod Software 1.1.4 for iPod shuffle:
-Volume limit
-Bug fixes

What do they mean by volume limit? If this means I won't be able to turn my shuffle up as loud, then I don't want to update it. I use my shuffle when I mow my lawn and have it turned up as loud as possible, and it's just loud enough for me to hear.

The 1.1.1 software update for iPod nano and Fifth Generation iPod provides an easy way for you to set a maximum volume limit to prevent the volume from exceeding a certain level.

You don't have to set an upper limit, though, but now you have the chance to do so if you don't want to risk damaging your hearing... ;)
 
It's not that big a deal, I guess, but in my house there's the iMac, the PowerBook, the PowerMac, the mini, and the MBP to deal with. Bit of a pain.

Waahhh waaaah. I wish I had the *PAIN* of having FIVE mac computers in my house.
 
I just updated my nano to 1.2 but found a bug/change that I don't like. If you like to listen to songs from albums in a row, you would leave the shuffle setting on Album and it would shuffle the albums order, but leave each album together. With 1.2 it just shuffles by song no matter what you have in the settings. I did a full restore to 1.2 (still not work), then a restore to 1.1.1 and it then worked.

Anyone else seeing this?
 
kernel panics?

I just installed the new itunes, quicktime, and 10.4.7 updates and I am now getting kernel panics (seemingly) when I connect my ipod to my computer. I'm running an old digital audio PMG4 with a dual 1.4ghz processor upgrade. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I normally skip one or two upgrades. Like 10.4.4 to 10.4.6, makes life more manageable. The only exception are the security updates.
 
I was in the store in Jordan Creek and the sales rep really had no clue. I was kind of dissapointed. I ran cross country for 5 years in High School and Middle School. I know that the guy probably didn't, but he should still know about the product.
