Apple blocking 3rd part apps from synching with the new iPod's which means anyone who doesnt want to use iTunes, or can't (Linux and some Vista users) now cant
Actually, the new iSticker(tm) is said to improve the audio quality to "Beyond Audiophile" levels! His Steveness himself has thrown away his comparatively inferior, audiophile separate sources in favor of listening to 128kbit AAC files through the new Apple(tm) iPod(tm) Classic(tm) with the iSticker(tm) upgrade! The new iSticker(tm) is a fantastic, highest quality product made with only the best materials available. Scientific research* has been done to ensure that the iSticker(tm) will adhere permanently to the back of your Apple(tm) iPod(tm). In fact, similarly to the Apple(tm) iPod(tm)'s soldered and non-replaceable batteries the iSticker(tm) creates a permanent bond that cannot be removed by normal means.**
Notes: 1) The iSticker(tm) is incompatible with Linux; penguins scare the iSticker(tm), and use with a Linux system will result in immediate, irreversible detachment of the iSticker(tm) that may or may not be repairable. If this has happened to you, for a nominal $40 fee we will evaluate the possibility of reattaching another iSticker(tm).
2) To repair any damage to your iSticker(tm) you must send the product in for servicing by a qualified technician, who will, at our discretion, restore your iSticker(tm) to like new condition or replace the iSticker(tm) with one of equivalent or lesser value.
Fine Print: * This a complete lie. ** Normal means do not include a cursory search on Ebay for a replacement kit w/instructions.

This just in: Sticker will NOT be user replaceable.
