Ey up. i would not update to firmware 1.2 yet if i were you. i've had 1 major problem. i use a lot of smart playlists and with version 1.2 it's a bit funny about how the playlists update to the ipod. if a playlist is empty (like my "delete these" playlist - songs with only 1 star) it won't even show up on the ipod after i've "synced". major pain in the arse. only advantage in 1.2 as far as i can see is for that nike thingy and you also need it to play the new games that come with itunes7. so if you DO update be prepared for a lot of messing about trying to downgrade back to version 1.1.1
