HPA- You're welcome!

Ryan- Must be a compatability issue with those iPod. I suggest getting the iPod agent, and using the text files I attached to add in as notes on your iPod. I know those work fine.

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

its working fine on my 4G 20 gig.

the process is compatable with every ipod made, including the 8 gig 1 edition

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

iPods have never come in 8GB models. If you mean the very first iteration of the iPod, that was a 5GB model.

What's the difference between the 1g and 2g iPods? What were the sizes of the 2g?

Heheheh

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

I might try to get a PDA (HP or Dell) soon and throw the PDF's or .Txt's on there.

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

the Dell X30 is an awesome machine! you should get one <insert Dell Ad, and catchy catch phrase "dude you're getting a dell", here>

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

i can testify for both the dell x30 and the ipod4G 20gb version. i havent yet used the dell x30 extensively mainly due to the fact that it is my mom's but i plan on bringing it to regional competitions, bluetooth and wi-fi really really help out. i ended up getting it for 424 canadian with all expenses included.

in any case, good realisation. the rules load up fine on my pod.

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

I'm not sure why you would want to read the rules on the tiny iPod screen and I havent tried to put them on mine. I did put the rules on my brand new Dell X50 and it runs excellent. A few years ago i uploaded the rules on my older Dell X5 and it also ran excellent.

I used Adobe Acobat Reader 2.0 for PocketPC.

I've only a 20GB iPod, no room for the rules. :(

Well, since you asked..... :D

The 1st generation (introduced October 2001) iPod came in a single model, 5GB, and had an actual wheel that moved. The 1G line was updated in March of 2002 to include a 10GB model.

The 2nd generation was introduced at Macworld NYC in July of 2002. The primary differences between 1G and 2G was that the 2G models were smaller and now offered a touch wheel, as opposed to a piece that actually rotated. 2G models came in 5, 10, and 20 GB, included the headphone remote, and also became available for all you peecee people.

3rd generation iPods came at the end of April 2003. Big changes here: smaller, rounded corners, the control buttons moved to a new location under the screen (as opposed to around the wheel), and it had a dock. It originally came in 10, 15, and 20 GB, but soon after launching this generation Apple replaced the 20GB by a 40GB model and the 15GB model by a 30GB one. The 10GB model was discontinued soon thereafter, and the 15GB reintroduced as the "low end" iPod. (Sizes: 10,15,20 => 10,30,40 => 15,30,40) This iPod could also play the new "Apple Lossless" format.

Minis came in January of 2004. They're available in 5 "flavors": Silver, Gold, Green, Blue, and Pink. They all are very tiny (about the size of a slightly stretched business card) and hold 4GB.

4th generation iPods came in July of 2004. The scroll wheel gave way to the click wheel, the iPod thinned up a bit, and it came in 20GB and 40GB models

The 4G U2 iPod was introduced jointly by Steve Jobs, Bono, and The Edge. The face is black with a blood-red scroll wheel. It's a "special edition" iPod and has the signature of each U2 member engraved on the back. It was launched in October of 2004. It has a 20GB drive.

At the same time, Apple introduced the iPod photo. It had a color screen and support for holding gajillions of photos, displaying them, managing a slide show, outputting the signal to TV.... It came in 40GB and 60GB models :yikes: It is, IMO, the sexiest of all iPods (so far).

Then in January of 2005, Apple introduced their latest iPod, the iPod shuffle. It's the same height as a pack of Trident gum, but thinner (in both width and depth). It comes with either 512 or 1GB of flash storage (all other iPods are hard drive based), plugs directly into a USB 2.0 port, and can hold 120/240 songs (on average, depending on size....) It costs $99/$149 and is designed to target all you people who have yet to get it into your head that Apple is the best. :yikes:

The 2G models never had 5 gig. :D

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

Sorry, my bad. I misread my notes. :rolleyes:

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

That's Awesome!!! It's a great idea...but I'm not bringing my iPod anywhere near power tools!

Re: FIRST Rules On Ipod
 

Alright, I've got just three, err... four comments to make:

1) Isn't the "Apple Lossless" format just another way of saying "copy-proof WAV file"?
2) The U2 iPod rocks. :D
3) iPod Shuffle looks awesome.
4) Apple isn't the best at everything. Steve Jobs hasn't gotten it through his skull that people want MOVIES on portable platforms like the iPod, not just music. :mad: When will these people learn?

Anyway, thanks for the tip on the rules on the iPod. Now I won't have to lug a few binders around with me to regionals...
