Re: Anyone else notice this about the 1.3 update for the older iPods?

Nope, I don't think it's that at all.

If Apple had wanted to really enforce the "switch" policy, they would
have never offered USB2 support for the newer gen iPods - USB2 is a
strictly-PC thing, as Mac computers (save possibly the new G5) don't
have a USB2 chipset. 

I believe either:

- the 1.3 Win update is coming very soon
- they're developing a 1.3x or 1.4 firmware which will be released for
Windows

There's no tangible reason to delay releasing 1.3 for Windows at the
moment - as we know, installing the Mac version of 1.3 on Windows iPods
is a piece of piss - but I'm possibly wondering whether they've given
some serious thought to offering some of the 2.x features on the older
firmware now, and have delayed the release of the Windows firmware as a
result...

Then again,  you might be completely correct. My brain has shifted into
low-gear thanks to it being Friday afternoon ;-)
