iPod Question...
 

Does having the hold switch on use any power? Because I think the iPod sometimes turns on by itself if you don't have the hold switch down. Just for little checks or time checks or something? I guess I'm really addressing this question to gekko and Null since I don't have knowledge of anyone else here owning an iPod.

no it dont use extra power. it just disables buttons.

i believe what the hold switch is doing is just cutting the circuit to the buttons so they send now power to anything else. its like you have 2 wires. and holds them together power runs thro. pull them apart nothing.

however the ipod uses power when its off anyway. i mean if you were to let it sit by itself for a month or something you'd notice it having less power.


Lets put it this way.... if you DONT have hold on and you accidently press a button and it turns on... your using more power then, than if the hold was on. :P

I'm pretty sure Null is right... I own an iPod by the way.

Re: iPod Question...
 

no

No, but you need firewire (old version) or USB 2.0 newer version.

Ipod, cause you won't buy our other crap.

Yes, I do really, really want one.

He's right.

But in this case, I don't care. It's too damn cool.

What's funny is how much how my iPod owns your old skool discman in the capacity department, Moogle, so booyah!

Re: iPod Question...
 

that is funny. However once i got my $499 iPod, i'd never want anything else. no matter how cheap it would be.

A month? Mine can die in a couple days. It used to be worse, before the iPod 1.2 software, it could die on me in a day.

And my $499 iPod ownz. Problem is it's the first generation 10GB :( Spinning scrollwheel, still pretty fat, and weighs a lot more than 2 CDs. Oh well, I'll get a new one when I get a G5.
