Relationship problems
OK, maybe I'm not entirely pleased with the liason between VanPod (my iPod) and Triton Extreme.
For one, VanPod's energies get drained rapidly while in union with Mr. Blue. Not a good thing for anyone who leaves the keyboard on for several hours, because VanPod will die, and files therefore cannot be saved on it.
However, as VanPod warns me protectively not to disconnect it from the keyboard, the only option is to hook it to a power source (i.e. extra wires).
And if the iPod goes to sleep, sometimes you won't be able to retrieve your files - even when the keyboard is on. You have to restart your iPod by holding on to the 2 middle buttons for a while. At worst, you also have to restart the keyboard before you see the iPod's directory again.
Bah!
Thank goodness for old Compact Flash cards. Cheap(er), smaller and more reliable.
