Thanks for all the info Linda, I bought the Pod today and am currently charging it...followed your tip about the non-synch...thanks. Good to hear that the heat problem is not a certainty. In the UK it doesn't get cold so I shouldn't have too many problems here but good to know for travelling abroad. Bookmarked the other site as well. I can imagine the dog kennel rocks! I like to surprise my customers when we're travelling with some German or French world music...that makes heads turn...not your average BBC2... Norton is okay now, (after a bunch of updates!) but I'll be sure to check out DW at the next opportunity... P.S. Do you have version 1.2.1 on your iBook (in iTunes?) or does it need to be transferred to the Pod somehow? Did this help with the battery problems? Thanks again, Richard --
