My Nike+ is still working perfectly, with the bonus of the miles now being shown AS miles, rather than as km as they were before, as Brian mentions above.

And something that is making me very happy—they finally fixed the Calendar word wrap problem! I like to d/l my training plans from TrainingPeaks.com to Outlook, and then import them into my Nano’s calendar, so I always know how far I need to run on any day. Prior to the latest update, the non-functioning word wrap screwed that. It works perfectly now, and I am ecstatic about it.

I’ve also noticed that when the iPod is disconnected, there is now a status bar on its screen that shows how long until it’s ready to use.

Is it me, or did the upgrade to 1.0.3 make the nano sound better? I absolutely hated the way my wife’s 3G sounded straight out of the box, but now it actually has decent audio quality. Still not what I consider great, but it’s a lot better than before.

Update:
Got my nano slideshow+music to work again after update 1.0.3.  Had to do a full restore to fix it.  No worries.

re: quirky calendar and notes behavior w/update 1.0.3

After realizing this morning that my notes and calendar were “gone” I briefly freaked, then did a hard reset (hold switch on/off, then press menu and center button down until Nano resets). Following that, everything was perfect again, and has remained so. (So far, so good, anyway.) Apparently, this is an issue a number of people are dealing with, as there are several posts concerning it on the apple boards.

As for photos, I was showing thumbnails, but no full-size pix. I’m a manual sync-er and don’t resync photos unless I want other than my usual 4 pix I keep on there. I did manually resync, and then the full-size pix were fine again. (If you sync automatically, you may not even realize there was a prob.)

The v1.0.3 firmware has also returned support for the Apple iPod HiFi.  A “Speakers” menu now appears when connecting either a classic or a nano to the iPod HiFi system, allowing for tone control and backlight control.

@Nino Correa: You can adjust the iPod backlight settings when connected to the iPod HiFi under the “Speakers” menu option that should appear on the main menu when you’re connected to the iPod HiFi.  If this menu does not appear, ensure that it is enabled under Settings, Main Menu.  See this week’s Ask iLounge column for more specific information.

Can someone tell me if the iPod Classic ver. 1.0.3 update fixes the TV Out setting such that it will work like the older iPod 5G models? 

I have the original OS still installed on my 160 GB iPod Classic, and am using it with a Philips DCP850 iPOD/DVD player.  This works fine, except that I must first put my iPod into Apple dock, change the TV Out setting to ‘ON’, start the movie I want to watch, and then insert my iPod into my Philips iPod DVD player.

Nope. Apple doesn’t seem to care about fixing that particular problem.

I have the 5 gen version 1.2.3.  I also have the new nano 1.0.3.  Can I get the same interface on the nano on the 5 gen?  I like it much better and have been looking all over on how to get it.  Please help
