lol. Does that mean I'll have to ebay my 10GB ipod? I just sold my 5GB one a month ago.

so instead of buying a 10gig ipod, you could buy a 10 gig smartdisk and upgrade the hd... how hard would it be to get the ipod to work with a fresh hd? have you tried ipoding?

The iPod software updater takes care of formatting and partitioning, but SmartDisk doesn't yet offer a 10GB FireFly...

Oy yoy! Does it say that it has a battery inside? NO NO. This thing has a "hook to run" complex. Not yet an Ipod threat.
