Dang. Thought I might get some new features, but my 3G v2.2 iPod is reportedly already up-to-date.

Let the "Apple won't update my current iPod to have all the new software that the 4th gen iPods have" pity party begin.

And my comment wasn't directed at you (posted at the same time).

Anyway, I thought the same as you until I saw their webpage, but oh well.

The software you download has iPod software updates for all the iPods (27MB), but the updater will know what kind of iPod you have and install the appropriate software. iPod 3.0 is only for the 4G iPods.

I wa PO too. I could live with it.

Way to go Apple, again! I keep buying Apple products a few months before the next version comes out (eMac, 3G iPod...). Oh well. And hey, why can't us 3G'ers get some of the updates like deleting songs from an OTG playlist???

I never believed we were going to see any of the new features in an update for 3Gs although I am sure they are all possible. I wonder if there is anything to update in 3Gs at the moment as I'm sure the last updater did all the things listed :confused:

I am only hoping for a better way to scroll through my 1000 artists. It's becoming a pain, as I always accelerate past the artist I'm after. I wrote a choose-by-letter thing a while back and stored it in the Notes folder. Worked well. You chose "L", and some more letters showed up, plus a list of all "L" artists. Then you chose "e" and some more letters and all "Le" artists showed up. Then, "d", and you got Led Zeppelin. well, that was a bad explanation.

Oh well. I was hoping Apple would offer horizontal scroll when reading the albums in the iPod. I've had to make truncated names for all my albums so I'd know what is on them. Anybody know if the new iPods have this feature?
