Oh man, this isn't right!

I thought the title read "iPod (Classic) firmware 1.1.1 released"! :-(

But, I'm still glad to see that Apple is updating it finally. Updates are always nice to have! ;)

Does this include the International Keyboards? I've been waiting for Japanese...

No Japanese keyboard. No international keyboard.

Even worse, Japanese font has been changed to very fancy font.
Only 17 years old girls like such foolish font.

Actually, though there are no international keyboards, accents and other letter modifiers have been added in the latest update. I found it by mistake and holding the letter i longer than I should. So if one holds the vowels, S, Z, C, and N a side panel will appear in order for one to select the accent wanted.

Update: I found 1.1.1 can enter Japanese on Safari (but no other applet), IF web form attribute 'lang' is set to 'ja', and once it changes Japanese keyboard, we can continue using it on different forms/pages until Safari is closed.

Not really practical solution though. Most web forms don't specify this attribute (not even Google Japan's home page), and most non 'ja' forms are perfectly fine to enter Japanese. It's still better than nothing but I'd be happier if we're given manual international keyboard option, since it's not perfect world.

Other issue is, it's smart maybe but painfully slow. It's just unbelievable.
