[X Newbies] iPod questions

[Scott]

1.  See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61687 which  
describes jumpy / erratic  touchwheel behavior. The article states that  
the touchwheel operates on the same principles as a portable touchpad.  
I don't believe the  touchpad will work w/ gloves, so neither will the  
iPod.

2. None here. I'd be interested in hearing any, now that my car stereo  
is working again.
