I haven't noticed lately. I'll take Holydoc's word for it, but for me it doesn't update like it used to. I'll make sure I have the latest iPod software, but I remember that there was a period of time when Apple took that feature off the iPod's software.
You are correct Moonwalker. Firmware 1.1 fixed a problem where the Smart Playlists were not working correctly. Firmware 1.1.1 works fine as well.
The only time I have found that Smart Playlists do not work correctly is if your Smart Playlist uses one of the following commands or references a playlist with one of the following commands:
Podcast > is > [True or False]
Playlist > is [or is not] > Video
These above commands will currently cause your Smart Playlists not to update on your IPOD automatically. However the smart playlist will work fine in Itunes.
