Purchase Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) NEWEST MODEL

My first Ipod Touch came without a working touch screen, so sent it back and received a new one. All was well for the first two weeks until I tried to ugragde the OS to the new 2.2 version. Halfway though, the Ipod crashed and never powered up again despite resetting. I called Apple support and thought it took 30 minutes, I finally convinced them that this Ipod was dead. I later searched on the web and found many postings of the same nature (crash on upgrade to 2.2.).

Apple told me to take it to the nearest repair facility for repair/replacment. I've had an Ipod Classic for three years and never had a single crash or upgrade issue. The Ipod Touch... a total failure on something as simple as an upgrade? The technical support said perhaps my fire wall had something to do with preventing an upload of the Bonjour software, which somehow is necessary for Ipods to update...that was never made clear. So, it's off to Apple for the second time in as many weeks with a dodgy Ipod Touch.

This is a great little item when it works. Checking E-mail, video, games, long battery life, great touch screen functionality...all wonderfully bundled into a neat gadget. But what good is it when it crashes and burns when you take Apple's suggestion to update the software? This is not an isolated incident and Apple does not have much to say about it. Apple said the turn-a-round on replacing the item is about three to four days but I'm off on an international trip tomorrow and very disappointed that my handy-dandy Ipod Touch will not make the trip.
