The only way I have been able to get some usefulness out of my second gen iPod Nano in Vista was like this:

  1. Hook it up to a Windows XP PC with the latest iTunes.
  2. Restore the iPod to factory settings and do a clean format.
  3. Once complete don’t sync anything, just check the manually manage iPod box.
  4. Plug into Vista PC with clean iTunes installation.
  5. Try and sync podcasts. This works but attempting to do so with any music playlists doesn’t. You can however drag over the playlists you need manually.

This should tide us over till Apple release an update.
