    Reader report: 4G iPod and photos

    By Dennis LloydMay 14, 2021 10:31 am UTC

    Reader Mike S. reports he has taken possession of a new 4G iPod 20GB from a Mayfair Apple Store in Wauwatosa, WI. “Well people, I just stopped by my local Apple store and they had 9 of these babies ready for a home. No 40GB yet, nor did they have the new Click Wheel iPod docks. Also, seems like Apple hasn’t updated their retail software though, because they couldn’t register my iPod when I bought it, so now I can just register it when I need service on the baby.” Mike also goes on to report a few things he’s noticed about the new 4G iPod.

    Reader report: 4G iPod and photos
    • Now you can turn it off completely by holding the Play/Pause button.
    • Click Wheel is not backlit, but the screen has a white backlight.
    • Clicker sounds slightly different from my iPod 3G.
    • Click wheel is slightly stiffer than the iPod mini’s.
    • No dock port covers are included.
    • Seems my iPod was partially charged when I bought it. Only took me 1 hour and now it says it’s fully charged.
    • The games menu can now be added to the main menu, YAY! (I think this is new to 4G).
    • On-The-Go playlist can now be saved, when saved, a new playlist is created (NewPlaylist1, NewPlaylist2, etc.) and the songs are moved there, the OTG playlist is then cleared. Saving playlists actually took abut 5-10 seconds, which seemed a bit long for only 2 songs.
    • Songs can be deleted from the On-The-Go playlist by holding the middle button for about 3 seconds, same as adding a song.

    I'm a passionate, long-time lover of Apple products, and was a civil draftsman and graphic designer before creating the iLounge web site. My prior projects include work for The Los Angeles Times' LATimes.com, and the company Creative Domain, where I developed websites for clients including Columbia Pictures, Disney, Fox Studios, Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers. As the Publisher of iLounge, I direct the site's community forums, photo galleries, iPod User Group, and general business affairs, which have grown under my watch to over sixteen million page views every month. I'm happily married with one daughter, one dog (Rocket the Wonderdog), one cat (Ferris), many iPods, iPhones, iPads, and two turntables.
