iPods To Get Cover Flow, Firmware Update Coming Soon
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "NEWS" @ 06:00 AM
"The crew over at Giz has word that a new firmware update is coming for iPods, giving you the Cover Flow function that’s in iTunes. They’ve also been tipped off that iPods will not get a refresh until after the iPhone has launched."
This is one of those "Why? Because I can!" features. Honestly, I'd rather scroll through an alphabetical list of my albums than use Cover Flow on my iPod. It's nice to see album art, but why? Who cares? I know Jason doesn't like the iPod's "old skool" interface, but what else do you need besides text? Ever since Apple added the ability to search by letter (A-Z), I really can't complain about the iPod interface. I'd go so far as to say it's just about perfect.
