I just bought a 30GB white 5g ipod. I know the ipods are now supposed to have a search feature, and that the 30GB was one of the newer models... so why don't I have this? I even upgraded the firmware to v1.2 and I get everything BUT search.
What makes me so agravated about this is that I just bought it, and the newer 5g ipods came out weeks ago, and I spent $250 just as if it was new!
the search feature is only for the 80GB model
I would imagine trying to use the click wheel to type in the name of a song would be tedious anyway. Maybe if you have a full 80gb model its worth it, but I doubt it would be for anything else.
Just count your blessings that you are lucky enough to HAVE an iPod, much less a brand new 5g one 
the new firmware allows you to scroll by letter at least i guess 
does anybody know if the older 5G's can play 640*480 video, like the refreshed ones...and if not, is there some hardware difference?
1. The new search feature is for BOTH 5.5G iPods
2. I doubt 5G iPods can play 640x480 since there were some hardware changes but it wouldn't hurt you to try 
Yes they do. They look great. Why wouldn't they?2. I doubt 5G iPods can play 640x480 since there were some hardware changes but it wouldn't hurt you to try
