I did note that most of these little things could be fixed by future software updates. When I wrote that I envisioned these updates coming in the form of firmware updates to the iPod itself, I hadn&#8217;t expected that something as simple as an iTunes update could make any sort of change. Today Apple proved me wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the biggest gripe I had the with the photos feature was that the iPod Touch ignored the new Events feature added by iPhoto 7 (the version of iPhoto in iLife 08). This has now been fixed in a trivially simple way. When iTunes imports your photos it adds each event as an album. This is a very simple hack that is near-perfect. The only minor drawback it has it that it&#8217;s not possible to tell which albums are real albums and which are events. But, like I said, that&#8217;s a very minor thing. I&#8217;m really happy with this update as it makes photos much easier to find on the iPod but if I could really have my way I&#8217;d change one more thing. At the moment events are sorted with the oldest events at the top of the list and the newest at the bottom. I&#8217;d flip that the other way round.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
