And I can now come up for air again…

I’ve just completed yet another release of an iPod utility today – this time the “iPod Reset Utility” (no “shuffle” in the name this time), which has now gone live on the AppleCare support site:

• http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305204

I doubt this one will be quite as popular as the previous release (see my previous post regarding it), since most shuffle users have already used the prior release to successfully recover their units. Nonetheless, there already seems to be some discussions across teh intarweb regarding it:

• http://www.tuaw.com/2007/03/15/ipod-reset-utility-now-supports-2nd-gen-shuffles/

I’ll even admit that I can understand MacFixIt’s confusion regarding the new utility:

…since it does just support different models of iPod shuffle at this point. But, suffice to say (per ClassicUser’s response there), this wasn’t the original plan.

Interpret that as you will…
