I'm not terribly interested in the contacts or calendar features of the iPod... there's enough ways to get them to my iPod that it wouldn't be necessary to work them into MJ8. But it would be SWEEEET synchronizing smart my smart playlists onto my iPod. At this time, I have to manually export each playlist to a directory on my hard drive and sync my iPod to it.
Guys, I'm so excited about the possibility of an iPod plugin... if I can be of any assistance at all, please contact me -- kurtsipod@hotmail.com -- I can run tests, take screenshots, document whatever you want... you name it.
Sorry I'm such a nut, but Macintosh users have iTunes, an app that I hear is nearly as full featured and robust as MJ8. We iPod users have MusicMatch Jukebox (blech) and Windows Media Player (via XPlay, also blech). Pppplease make this geek's dream come true!
