Who knows? I have an iPod nano 4th Gen because I won it. But it is one of the coolest looking bits of technology I have. I don't use iTunes, but find Songbird with the iPod sync extension works fine. I also have a Sansa Clip dinky little player. When it came out it only did non-free formats (MP3 etc). But Sansa, after some questioning on their forums updated the firmware and it now plays ogg too. Some people regard me as a bit of a FOSS zealot/activist, but I do happily use my Nano, watch Flash based videos on my Ubuntu desktop using the Adobe Flash player and have other non-free stuff on my computer too; I know what they are and what they are for though. It's your free choice. Al -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
