FAT32 formatted in the long term?

I was just wondering..

If my iPod is formatted in FAT32, so i can transfer files etc.., will my mac be able to install all the updates my iPod will need?
Also will i be able to install progs like GoPod which removes the EU volume limit?

Any other issues with a FAT 32 iPod, other than the file size limit (and of course that element of Microsoft evil which will have infiltrated my mac world :ninja: )

why do you want it fat32?

so he can transfer files...presumably to and from a pc. he said it in his post

Id say eformat as a windows ipod, not fat32, some other format, and it can play nice with your mac.

no, you're right. fat32 is the format used by windows.

I mean format as another windows format, not fat32, then it should work fine on both mac and pc.

i thought the only other format was NTFS, which i know doesn't work with macs.
