You don’t need to use itunes you can run other os’s(not sure if that is the right term) on the ipod and just drag and drop. The other os’s are faster and offer more control over audio output settings too. ---

My work, UBMicro will be selling the new iPods. We also marked down the prices of the previous models. So if the new colors don’t mean anything to you, time to save a few bucks. From the email my manager sent me, these are the new prices: [font=Arial]1GB Nano - $119[/font] [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]2GB Nano - $149[/font] [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]4GB Nano - $199[/font] [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]30GB Video - $249[/font] [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]60GB Video - $299[/font] [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]iPod U2 Video - $279[/font] [font=Arial][/font] [font=Arial]We have them all in stock I believe. PM me if interested or stop at UBMicro and ask for Joe.[/font] [font=Arial][/font] [font=Arial]As for the new models, we ordered them, but probably won’t be in for 2-3 weeks based on Apple’s crappy shipping estimates.[/font] ---

I would use alot of the storage to do just that, Store documents or “backups” of DVDs. A lot of people forget that you can use the Ipod as a HD as well as a media player. :tup: ---

And I’d rather watch them on my 46" DLP thank you. I know plenty of people who are lusting after it now, the boyfriend included. He travels a lot, owns a lot of DVDs, and has more music than any person could ever need. This will be great for him. ---
