The text used to read:
	o	2003 iPods. The third-generation iPods arrived in a flash of music-related announcements from Apple. The new 
	iPod line came in 10 GB, 15 GB, and 30 GB models, each of which could work either with Mac or Windows. The new 
	iPods were thinner; the 15 and 30 GB models even came with a glossy white docking station that held the iPod 
	upright while it charged, connected to the computer, or blasted tunes though the built-in line-out jack to the 
	family stereo. Later in the year, Apple changed the hard drive sizes to 10 GB, 20 GB, and 40 GB-but the iPod's 
	look remained the same. (In January 2004, the hard drive offerings grew again, to 15, 20, and 40 gigabytes.)
It now reads:
	o	2003/2004 iPods. The third-generation iPods came in 10 GB, 15 GB, and 30 GB models, each of which could work 
	either with Mac or Windows; by the end of 2004, the standard iPod came in 20 and 40 gigabyte flavors, and had 
	inherited the iPod Mini's "click wheel" (described next). The new iPods were thinner; the nicer models even came 
	with a glossy white docking station that held the iPod upright while it charged, connected to the computer, or 
	blasted tunes though the built-in line-out jack to the family stereo.

The text used to read:
	o	The H-Pod. Hewlett-Packard will soon sell its own iPod, done up in "HP blue," and will include Apple's iTunes 
	for Windows on every computer it sells. (At this writing, HP doesn't know what it will call the thing. But isn't 
	HPod a great name? Get it? "HP"? And H is the letter before I?)
It now reads:
	o	The H-Pod. Hewlett-Packard sells the "Apple iPod by HP"-the exact same iPod   but with HP's service and support. 
	o	The U2 iPod. November 2004 brought the U2 Edition of the iPod: jet-black front, bright red scroll wheel, and a 
	    coupon good for $50 off the complete works of U2 (ordinarily a $150 download from the iTunes Web site.)
	o	The iPod Photo. The first iPod with a color screen was the iPod Photo, available in 40 or 60-gigabyte models. 
	    The iPod wasn't just about music any more; now it could scroll through all your photos and present them as a slide 
	    show, either on the 2-inch color screen or on a TV. (The TV cable connects to the headphone jack!)

The text used to read:
On the day it released iTunes 4.5, Apple also released an update for the iPod's firmware (its circuitry). If you haven't 
done so already, you'll want to update your iPod or iPod Mini as well. (See page 296 for instructions on updating your iPod.) 
The software, sporting the catchy name iPod Update 2004-04-28, is available at www.apple.com/ipod/download/. The update 
is intended for all iPods and Minis released before April 28, 2004, although the Apple Lossless Encoder function will 
works only on the 2003 iPods and later models.
To see your iPod's software version, go to iPodAESettings AEAbout and look at the number next to Version. 
At this writing, the current firmware version for full-size iPods is 2.2; for the iPod Mini, it's 1.1. These are the version 
numbers you should see after you run the iPod updater.
It now reads:
Updating Your iPod for iTunes 4.7
Each time it releases a new version of iTunes, Apple may also release an update for the iPod's firmware (its circuitry). 
If you haven't done so already, you'll want to update your iPod or iPod Mini as well. (See page 296 for instructions on 
updating your iPod.) 
The software, sporting acatchy name like iPod Update 2004-10-20, is available at www.apple.com/ipod/download/. The Web 
page there lists which updater is appropriate for which iPod models. You might see one for the iPod Mini, a different 
one for the iPod Photo, a third for "click wheel" iPod models, and so on.
To see your iPod's software version, go to iPodAESettings AEAbout and look at the number next to Version. 
Software updates: They're not just for computers any more.

	o	An Eject button right next to the iPod's name in the Source list. Just click and go when you're ready to unplug 
	    your Pod and leave. No longer must you select the iPod's icon and then click the iPod's Eject button in the lower-right 
	    iTunes corner (although you can still do it that way if all the newfangled buttons are overloading your senses).

Owners of the iPod Mini and 2004 models don't have to worry about that; their buttons are clickable spots on the 12, 3, 
6, and 9 o'clock positions on the scroll wheel. If you're old enough to own an iPod, your thumb can probably reach them.

The text used to read:
The 2003-and-later iPod is smaller than the previous models, so it contains a smaller battery; same goes for the iPod Mini. 
Apple estimates that modern iPod models have a battery life of up to eight hours. Again, you can expect shorter life in the 
real world (see the box below for more detail). If your iPod is conking out too soon, contact Apple Support by phone or Web.

Fortunately, the late 2004 models return to a 12-hour battery. Again, you can expect shorter life in the real world (see the 
box below for more detail). If your iPod is conking out too soon, contact Apple Support by phone or Web.

[add this at end:]
On the iPod Photo, the main menu contains an additional option, the rabbit hole into the wonderland of digital photos: Photos. 
It leads to a list of your photo albums, which correspond almost perfectly to music playlists.
If you use a Mac, albums are a mirror of your albums in iPhoto. If you use a Windows PC, albums are either folders of photos 
on the hard drive or "collections" within Adobe Photoshop Album or Elements. (You specify which source of photos you want using 
the Preferences command in iTunes 4.7 or later.) Highlight an album and c lick Select to view a 25-thumbnail preview, or Play to 
begin a slide show.
You can't rotate, edit, or delete a photo on the iPod. You can, however, use the  commands in the Photos submenus to choose a 
playlist as background music, to specify how long each photo remains on the screen, and to turn on Repeat or Shuffle.
