iPod Panics.
Panic stations this morning. When your iPod turns on with a blank display you start to wonder where you’ll get the money for a new one. All settled down again when we reset the little mite and it came back good as new.
QDN has a interesting experience with their iPod, when they’d given up on the old battery and suddenly they returned to a generous charge. One of the comments makes a good suggestion when they point to Battery Universities “How to prolong lithium-based batteries” article.
In related news, the Australian Defence Department has banned the device.
Anyone else with some interesting stories to tell about their iPod?

The so-called banning of the iPods by the department of defence sounds like a normal Australian media beat up. Devices like this have been controlled in a defence type environment since forever. You have to seek permission to take them into controlled areas, and there are restrictions on where you can have them and use them. It’s not just iPods either. Any type of removable media including floppy disks get the controlled treatment. That’s why the defence department clears people, since we have to be able to trust those employees who work with sensitive data.
