Hey all,

I'm finally making the switch next week. I got tired of resisting the urge to toss my Dell laptop like a frisbee, and have bought an iMac. While I was at it, I also bought a first gen ipod Touch, since they were on ridiculous sale online tuesday after the announcements.

In any case, the iPod Touch is arriving first. If I set it up on my Dell, will I have to reformat the player a few days later so that it will work on the Mac platform? It's been a while since I've had a new iPod, so I don't know the current protocol with OS switches and iPods. If I have to reformat, then I'll just wait a couple more days until I've set up the new machine.

Thanks for helping a mac newbie! :)

EDIT: I placed this in the iPod forum, rather than iPT, since it seemed more of a general question rather than anything else. Mods, feel free to move this if you think it's in the wrong place......
