Well, just this afternoon I though, what the ..., let's get them all and selected Squidgy for download. I was told I couldn't because I need iPhone 2.1 software. The problem is that I don't have an iPhone, I have an iPod Touch. Hmmmm.... Connected it to iTunes and after some wild clicking got that to check for updates and it told me it found a 2.2 update for my iPod. I thought that this might be good enough to fool the Appstore into thinking I have an iPhone 2.1 so I select "go ahead". No go, my iTunes cant do it because it must be upgraded itself first!! Grmmppfff... Okay, let's do that. 30 minutes and a reboot later (music buffered was almost enough to span the reboot ;-) I started iTunes again and spend the next 5 minutes agreeing to obscure agreements with Apple. But after that... I got a nice upgraded iTunes that is apparently needed to download 2.2 from the Internet. The previous version was too stupid although it could download 2.0 just fine. I know they are lying to me but realize I probably need the new iTunes after installing 2.2 to be able to communicate with it. But I thought Apple stuck to their own standards? Apparently they let go of the idea of stability after switching to Intel CPU's and allowing Windhose on their kit. Anyway, after again wild clicking at random I got it to check for iPod updates again and this time it allowed me to start the download. At this time I notice that it had also managed to put a whole bunch of apps back onto my iPod which I had deleted from it before. Nice sync mode, very intelligent too. The download starts... 250 MBytes???!!! Over Panamanian Internet???!!! Well, at 6 pm I finally and to my surprise got it. I can even start upgrading the iPod. This process seemed to take as long as downloading it, after which it starts checking it before reboot... why not transfer into the iPod while downloading if it's gonna be checked anyway? But okay, at 6:12 pm I have it up and running and go to the app store again to try that Squidgy thingy again. Yes, I am now good enough for it and within a minute it's downloaded and installed. I start it and it detects SC okay! As I have disabled the Windhose firewall of course, I don't have to change it's settings and the squidgy starts downloading my database. It is still doing that by 6:30. I have less than 7k tracks. But at 6:40 pm I have it running and I must say I am very impressed by it. Nice, fast and easy to use. No problems so far.
The total time that all this took me was 3 hours ;-) ciao!
