If you are like me, you probably couldn’t wait to try out Front Row even though Apple didn’t release it for your computer. So when you heard about Andrew Escobar’s tutorial to install Front Row on your unsupported Mac you just ran over there and tried it out.
But if you’ve just updated to Mac OS X 10.4.4 (like me) you’ll have problems with Front Row. Luckily Andrew has just released a new version that allows Front row to run on unsupported Macs running 10.4.4. Grab it here.

According to a job vacancy Apple are looking to enhance it’s current version of Front Row, currently only shipping with new iMacs (although you can get it work on any Mac OS X system).
The applicant would be involved in the development of “cross-functionally with other teams to integrate various types of media” as well as working on “highly graphical, animated interfaces.”
An Apple job posting indicates that the company are in the process of developing “new complex” iPod applications for Windows. The developer would be responsible for “implementing new features in existing applications as well as developing new complex applications, as well as libraries to install and maintain software updates on iPod.”
Apple typically releases Mac versions of new software prior to their release on Windows, although they have been releasing new versions of iTunes simultaneously.
Just a few personal thoughts on iPod Download as compared to El iPod. This weekend I wanted to add songs to my iBook … using my 3G iPod. I downloaded a copy of iPod Download and gave it a go with very mixed results.
iPod Download indexed all the songs on the iPod, but the software did not download the lusic I wanted. Instead, it seemed to just download 23 random songs - some bought from iTMS and others not so.
So … I turned to El iPodo, and what a piece of work it is! It found my iPod and all the music. El iPodo quikly downloaded all my music into whatever directory I wanted. Excellent stuff!
