iPod Classic not updated for Daylight Savings time

Mine was an hour behind as well but corrected itself the next time I synced to my computer.

It's because Congress changed daylight savings time last year, so of course it will be wrong.

Given the intricacies of programming DST - world wide time zones (no, Americans are NOT the only ones using iPods), exceptions to the DST updates, exceptions to DST in general (Arizona, for instance), my guess is that connection to the PC is the method Apple chose to update the iPod clock for DST. Even Microsoft continued to bring DST updates out as late as January of this year. Since the only way to keep the iPod up to date with content is to connect it to a computer, it does not seem to be entirely unfair for Apple to use the computer's clock to sync the iPod's. Comparing the iPod to a complete computer operating system such as Mac OSX (or Windows for that matter) is a little disingenuous.

Of course, you can check this by not connecting your iPod to your PC the first weekend in April and see if it tries to do a DST update (thus making most iPods an hour off). My guess - it won't do it then either.
