will the NEW ipod be compatiable w/ both mac and pc?

[DooBall]

I tried out the new ipod at macworld ny, mostly cosmetic changes and new touch wheel.

was wondering if its going to work with both mac and pc...

i know some firewire drives only work on one or the other...

anyone know?

I wondered the same thing earlier today...here are some of the answers I got.

From Apple's iPod site/ad:
"With no moving parts, the iPod’s new touch-sensitive scroll wheel is less vulnerable to dust, dirt or sand and more durable. The touch-sensitive scroll wheel is designed to retains its crisp feel throughout the lifespan of your iPod. There’s even a clicker that makes a tiny clicking sound when the scroll wheel is moving."

Eh? How, exactly, does it "move"? I liked the old system as it was, thank you very much. Is this like a rotating touchpad?

no, its a touch pad like the laptops... you just move your finger in circles as if it was a moving part...

its pretty slick, it works really well... you can 'spin' it real fast w/o it skipping or losing track
