I'm guessing this will be v1.2 or something. Damn..august is miles away...
Reader "Neil" sends in confirmation from the Expo floor:
according to the guys at the apple booth, the firmware will be out … couple of days [in] to the first week in august. the remote looks so much sweeter in person. silver shinny face plat[e] like the back of the iPod, and the clip on the back is white plastic like the front of the iPod. the firewire port cover is a great idea, [wish] my original 5 gigger had it.

Re: Not 'til August…
And when will AAC support come to iTunes and the iPod?
Re: Not 'til August…
On a more positive note, the info section on the new iPod says that it now has a one year warranty now.
Re: Not 'til August…
It's only positive if you buy a new one.

Re: Not 'til August…
Was at the expo today. I lookd at new iPods to see what version they were running. It was a 1.2 beta. I did not write down all the specs, but was surprised to see beta SW.
Re: Not 'til August…
i think they need to get that new version out, itunes 3 isnt interacting very well at all with ipod firmware 1.1. It doesn't auto-launch when i insert my ipod like it use to.
Re: Not 'til August…
I can tell you that it will be v1.2 that comes out.
How do I know?
I went to www.apple.com.au/ipod shortly after the keynote and it had a button that said "Download iPod Software 1.2" to make sure it wasnt a mistake I refreshed a few times. On clicking the link it takes you to the US Download site however and downloads v1.1
The Link has now dissapeared from the Australian Site
Re: Not 'til August…
