[quote Gareth][quote MacArtist]If the Nano runs on a PC with XP (released in 2000) then why the hell won't it run on 10.3.x?
It's not Apple's fault that Windows is on a 7 year development cycle and Apple keeps the Mac OS around a 2 year cycle. Consider that they're really just supporting the current OS and maybe one older, in which case, 10.5 and 10.4 make sense. If they supported 7 years of the Mac OS, these iPods would still run in OS 9!
That is hard to buy into. If Apple can make a new Nano work on XP; then why can't it make it run on a newer (than XP) operating system?
What is it about the new Nano that will not run under 10.3.9?
It's a USB device. As long as works with iTunes and iCal (contact syncing); what else is there?
