[QUOTE="Horness, post: 692320, member: 46714"] All the iPod format means is that the drive inside was formatted using Microsoft Windows. If you ever do a reset on your iPod and re-format it on your mac, the format will change to "Macintosh". Windows formatted iPods can be read by Windows and Mac computers, Macintosh formatted iPods can only be read by Mac's as the file system is different. I <think> that Macintosh formatted iPods are the only one's that get regular firmware updates via iTunes. Windows formatted iPod users have to wait for the big updates to come out. [/QUOTE]
