If you have one of those small, multi-colored nano-chromatic iPod nanos, then you might be in for a surprise the next time you sync it...

"Added a setting to turn off Cover Flow when rotating iPod nano"
Bye bye Cover Flow, see you never. I look forward to being able to adjust the volume without taking it out of my pocket and holding it level.
well that nearly failed. Got halfway through the update and suddenly got the 'improper device removal' dialog (though it was still plugged in). then it spun for a while and gave me an 'unknown error' dialog. iPod froze for a while. Restarted it, went through the update procedure again and it worked. Phew.

Let's hope apple doesn't fall on it's face with these nice looking pair of headphones like it has with video recording, landscape keyboard in some pretty obvious places and MMS.

If only they had this on iPhone/iPod Touch......come on Apple!
woops. *sigh*
guess im not first.
Also - maybe the rotate stuff is in 2.2 update for iphone?
Yeah, I hope so. It wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't sometimes get stuck in landscape orientation/coverflow.
I'd also like to be able to lock the screen in landscape during video playback; sometimes I watch BBC iPlayer in bed, lying on my side, and have to be careful to get the angle right and stop it tipping over to portrait.
I've been experiancing some major problems with my nano since installing this update. I can only listen to my iPod for a couple of minutes at a time then it starts skipping. I hit a button and it goes back to normal. Very annoying.
