iPod Classic and Nano Update 1.0.2
Apple's iPod Classic and iPod Nano has been updated to 1.0.2 via iTunes.
The new update comes without any description, but a couple of early reports:
- Improved Cover Flow
- Faster menu navigation
- Compilation Album Art displayed only once in Cover Flow
- Video Out Fix
Overall, it appears to address many of the performance concerns that many had when the Classic iPod first came out.

It seems, happily, to have solved my problem with the syncing calendars and contacts. I am pleased.

Album art in Cover Flow is better/fixed . If you scrolled too fast, it had a problem keeping up, artwork didn't load fast enough.

Since it doesnt look like's its been mentioned here before, thought I'd let y'all know! It's a 56.6MB update.
Does anyone know what all is included? Hopefully it updates the click wheel's firmware, mine is kind of undersensitive (or is that just mine?). Hopefully the menu's were reupdated to be even more seemless.
Edit: Apparent Nano's are updated, too, so my guess is that they are the same update. Feel free to merge, sorry!!

I got it!
I haven't played around with it completely yet but the first, major fix is that compilation artists no longer appear in the artists field!
Also, compilation albums now appear at the very end of coverflow and coverflow itself seems to load the covers quicker.
Anyone else notice anything else yet?

I just did the update, and I found coverflow to be smoother, and the menus to be much snappier.

another fix: when the ipod is plugged in, the screen turns off when it isn't actively in use (say, during charging)

They've fixed cover flow and the sync screen thank god. It now seems to display Compilations correctly...

This update is the best thing to happen to my 80 GB classic since I put U2 on it.
Menu navigation is quicker, compilation album art is displayed only once in cover flow, and that ridiculous capital letter p seen when connected has been replaced by a clock. Also, the word "syncing" (which I'm not even sure is a real word) has been changed to "synchronizing."
Another thing I noticed is that Ms. Pac-Man now has a pretty little thumbnail picture next to its title, just like the games originally included with the iPod (iQuiz, Klondike, and Vortex). Previously all that was displayed was a blue dice graphic. The other two games I've purchased, however, (Tetris and Sudoku) simply have black squares next to their titles (anyone else notice this?).
