        Agreed, understood.

        Yeah, makes sense. Is there a page explaining how to do that?

        Well, wouldn't Other features just go under the Comments column? As for
the Charging feature, I think it probably should stay, because it may
not work for some reason, and it is a slightly important feature...

        As a newbie to Rockbox, I didn't know there was an option to fiddle
with the iPod providing accessory power. I'll have to look and see what
the default behavior is. Are newbies likely to fiddle with it, though?

        Kind of, sort of, yeah. But I can see the point of it. Shows whether or
not it is confirmed and not just one person goofing up.

        That is something any of us can fix. I'll try to do it when I can.

        No problem. Like I said, I'm looking at it as a newbie, and trying to
think of way to fix it so it can be more helpful.

        We should look at the manuals, and see if there is any language there
pointing users at the Acc page also. I think there should be, and
encourage people to add info about their Acc there. As for why, see my
previous message. A newbie will want to know if their device works.
        Also, a topic in the Apple part of the forum, stuck to the top; titled
"iPod Accessory Support". In that message, ask people to add their info
to the Acc page.

        In general, I think we should try to increase awareness of that page....
