Its pretty nice. How do u get all that?
@Mudit Aggarwal: Personal experience, beta. My iPod hung the five minutes before leaving for Lucknow (It must be scared of Ashutosh). I discovered this way out of frustration. I lost my iPod manual.
Oh and BTW, I have the iPod Nano 2nd Generation.
Hey, thank you for your info. I was like scared to death when I got this hang problem. Now I’m smiling and singin’ again
My daughter is eternally grateful. Thanks!
