Have you seen this?

Apple haven't tested compatibility with any Pentax cameras so it'd pay  
to enquire/test before you considered buying one.

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,
