Is it supposed to just say "Do not disconnect?"

I suppose it's the natural consequences of having it mounted as an external drive, but I was really expecting something more like a Palm, where you just plug it into the cradle and you can still *use* it.

Thanks!

If you want to do anything with it when it's in the cradle, just unmount it, it'll still charge and then you can use it.

It's to prevent folks from pulling it out of the cradle while data is being written to it, thus corrupting the data on the disk. Basically it's there because the world has to cater to the lowest common denominator of intelligence.

Hey zero, nice trolling (we don't allow that here btw), how about cooling it a bit. Say something a little more constructive. This is a board about the iPod afterall. If you hate them fine, you're more than entitled to your opinion, but it's not constructive to just incite flame wars like you're doing in your post.

There are zen boards your know...
