The Boffin responsible writes: "Maxwell Smart, the bumbling comic spy in the 1960s television series Get Smart, frequently used his 'shoe phone' to report his latest predicament to The Chief at CONTROL. Now a Flinders University computer scientist has combined the latest telecommunications components to produce the real thing. While it was devised as a prop for an amateur theatre production, Flinders post-doctoral fellow in bioinformatics, Paul Gardner-Stephen, realized the concepts behind the shoe phone have potential for the development of biomedical devices."

Has anyone had problems viewing your iPod in iTunes 4 after the update has run? I tried restoring the iPod to factory settings to see if that changed anything but I still do not see anything in iTunes 4 although I see it appear on the desktop and can use it as a firewire hard drive. I can also use third party iPod transfer programs.
