but you should try to keep it out the car when you aren't drving. you got to remember its not car audio equipment and isnt designed to handle the heat extremes in a car. and there you go talking all that shit about apple. It does take itunes forever to convert videos for ipod. it took me a couple hours to convert a hour long video on a laptop with 2GB ram and a 1.6 ghz dual core processor. i think they make the windows version slow so you think the high *** mac computers are so much better. you paid 350 for a 30gb you should have waited i brought a 80 GB a week ago for 260 w/tax from wally world
