iPod Updater 2005-03-23

This update is not yet available on the Apple Downloads page.

Edit, a day later: Now it is!

so is this just for the iPod Photos then? to allow the camera connector to work basically?

New transitions sweet!

Is that the only update, and the big size just because all the older iPod software versions are included...? Edit: Just ran the updater, an as I suspected, nothing new for the mini (or any other than the photos, i guess).

Yes, this update is for the iPod photo.

For reference, here is the description of Apple's iPod Camera Connector ($29.00, link) from the Apple Store:The iPod Camera Connector provides a fast, easy way to transfer images from your digital camera to your iPod photo. Compatible with iPod photo (30/40/60GB).

Simply plug the iPod Camera Connector into the iPod dock connector, plug your camera's USB cable and watch your images make their way to the iPod, ready to view in a slide show! Compatible with iPod photo (30/40/60GB). Requires iPod software v1.1. See www.apple.com/support/ipod/photos for supported cameras.

I really wish the iPod-camera corrector worked for all iPods. It would be great to unload and store photos on the go. I don't need to see them on the tiny iPod screen. I just want somewhere portable to store them if I'm note at home.

agreed, and hopefully this will be added at a later time to the rest of the iPod line as well, i guess they are trying to push the higher priced 'high end' iPods by making this a unique feature to them alone

Well, since the Belkin adapter works for all iPods, it would surprise me if the camera adapter didn't. Has anyone tried importing with the camera adapter?

I just ran the updater (66MB when uncompressed) on my photo, nothing noticeably different; I guess I need to get one of those photo connectors now.

Has anyone tried (can anyone try) with the Belkin adapter? Does it allow you to view photos after this update?

I can't see the iPod portion of the interface being different between the Belkin and the Camera connector.
