An online petition requesting that Apple port the 2.0 iPod software to a format supported by Classic iPods is now up.
“Owners of Apple?s iPod have put up with numerous problems with the product in the past: Poor battery life; an unannounced lack of certain features for the Windows version; very poor software support for the Windows version; and deletion of posts critical of Apple on their website.
The recent release of the new, third generation iPod has brought a new level to this dissatisfaction. Unlike rivals Creative Labs, Apple have jettisoned owners of the ?old? iPod and refused to update them to a new firmware version, which contains features such as on-the-fly playlists, new games, and customisable menus. Version 2.0 firmware is for use with the newest iPods only. “
