Have you seen this? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore? productLearnMore=M9861G/A Apple haven't tested compatibility with any Pentax cameras so it'd pay to enquire/test before you considered buying one. > Other than that, the iPod is a brilliant and beautifully made piece of > kit, which does its primary job really well. I use an iPod Mini to backup files that I'm really not willing to lose, in addition to music. Unfortunately it only has about 100Mb of space left :( I was tempted by the new 6Gb but I might wait for something more like 10Gb. The extra battery life of the new model is pretty tempting though. According to Apple's iPod site, Ferrari are building iPod support into their cars... and I was all ready to buy that Lamborghini ;) Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
