Is it ok if I leave my iPod connected to my computer all the time?
Just got an iPod Nano and got a cradle for it. I would like to leave it connected to the computer in the cradle all the time, but is that a good thing? It flashes that "do no disconnect" message constantly. I don’t think it’s good for the LCD screen to be on all the time so I figure most people don’t do this. Any opinions out there?

your ipod will be fine. it automatically turns off the backlight on the screen when charged. also, you can select disconnect in the itunes library. just click on the arrow pointing up that is on the right of the ipods name. you can also disconnect the cradle from the computer. once you plug an ipod into a computer though, it will not update anything that you add afterwards. if you have no safe, secure, designated places for an ipod, like a speaker, then leaving it at the computer might also be a great place to not lose it or damage it. also, the battery will charge as long as the computer is on (unless the computer is a laptop).
Cheers for this excellent informative content. Sometimes, the very best answers come from the blogs a person may not expect. So far, I didn’t give a whole lot of thought to placing comments on web log posts and have left responses even less. Taking note of your insightful blog post, may very well encourage me to do this on a regular basis.
