[ubuntu-uk] Just ordered an iPod.. Have I just made a big mistake?

[Ciaran Mooney]

Hi,

The new iPods do have some issues. Apple have implemented some kind of
encryption/hash that will only allows the iPod classic and new nano to
update/sync with iTunes.

I don't know if someone has figured out a work around yet, but its
just a matter of time. Personally I'd wait until Rockbox gets released
for the iPod Classic then buy one, as you then get Ogg support.

Hope this helps.

Ciarán
