Trouble With New iPod Classic?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 12:34 PM
"...Apple has enough trouble on its hands with the new iPod classic, which doesn’t work very well at all and is going to shortly create some PR problems for Apple. Rather than actually being a legacy device as the name implies, the iPod classic uses new innards and the software is creating headaches for early users. The complaints I am hearing about the new iPods classics are (in no particular order): VERY Slow menu switching response, display of clock rather than song info when “Now Playing”, inability to use existing AUTHORIZED 3rd party dock products (including Apple-advertised), audio skipping during operation, slow connection to Macs and PCs, inability to disable “split-screen” menus, lagging and unresponsive Click Wheel, camera connector not working, inability to use EQ settings without skipping and distortion. This product was clearly shipped before it was ready, so we can expect a significant firmware upgrade Real Soon Now, especially since the iPod classic is now Apple’s ONLY solution for users who want to store more than 16 gigabytes worth of songs, pictures, TV shows, and movies."
Since I'm not overly tuned-in to the world of iPods, this is the first I've heard of these problems - are they any iPod Classic users out there in Digital Media Thoughts-land? Are you seeing any of these problems?
