5G vs. 5.5G iPod; what does the software update get you?

[RAMd®d]

Robo, I'd think so.

I don't see why the 'Pod would "care" where the 640x480/264 came from. I doubt that the DRM has any effect.

I think the 5G also gets a brightness control, though I'm sure there is no *addtional* brightness.

The 80 is the same size as the 60, so it may be that software does help battery life.
