iTunes 8.1 adds iPod iCon to your My Computer View

Updating to the latest software of some of your favorite software is what every techie always looks out to. Being a techie myself so do I.

Updating has benefits while sometimes does not but lets talk about iTunes 8.1 ,iTunes 8.1 now adds a cool icon to your My Computer view. This icon will matches up to your iPod that you are syncing with iTunes. For me it is the iPod Touch and it added a cool Touch Icon to my My Computer view.

Right Clicking on this Icon in the My Computer view gives you more information about your iPod which includes the serial number and the Firmware version.

This icon certainly looks chic, way better that what we earlier used to see which was a default portable player icon that windows assigned. Wished it rendered information like Microsoft’s Device Stage would have done, it shows as a “Digital Camera” in the Details Pane in Vista.
