Hands-On Report--Apple's iPod Updater 2005-06-26

The update is available from Mac OS X's System Preferences Software Update pane or as a standalone updater from this Apple Web page. iPod software update 2005-06-26 delivers iPod Software 1.2 for iPod with color display, iPod mini Software 1.4 for iPod mini and iPod Software 3.1 for iPod with Click Wheel which provide integration with iTunes 4.9 for downloading and listening to podcasts. The updater contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-03-23 for all other iPod models.

We updated our iPod mini with no problem. Podcasts subscribed to via iTunes 4.9 show up as a sub-entry under the "Music" menu. We had to change our existing "Podcasts" playlist to "More Podcasts" to avoid having two entries with the same name. [Bill Fox]
