Update - iPod Touch

I recently encountered a problem with my iPod Touch that could not be satisfactorily resolved by Apple tech support. The techies gave it the old college try, but to no avail. I liked the “Touch” - a lot, but my device had a software issue that caused me to question my early adopter status. I was aware that the iPod Touch was somewhat buggy when I made the purchase, but I was hopping that my unit would not be afflicted with any serious problems. I purchased my iPod at Best Buy and since it was a Christmas gift (for myself) the return period was extended for roughly six weeks beyond the normal time span allowed for returns. Also, there was no restocking fee. I kept my iPod to the last day of the return period (January 31st), but then I decide to give it up - much to my chagrin.
The iPod Touch is a very unique member of the iPod family and one that I will revisit when the software gets to be more user friendly. My Christmas gift ended up basically being a “brick”. Nevertheless, I have rejoined the Apple cult - I guess that I never really left because I have an iPod Classic from way back when (it has always worked without a hitch) - with the purchase of the new little “Nano” iPod. It’s working like a champ and the Nano now also includes video, a big plus. But alas, I no longer have my Wi Fi function, nor my You Tube function that I so dearly loved when I had the “Touch”.
I would also consider the iPhone for a future purchase; it’s basically a “Touch” with phone functionality - that is if Steve and the crew could get it to work on AT&T’s 3G system. It’s just too slow when connected to the inherently sluggish EDGE format that AT&T currently uses.
Oh well, technology marches forward, or some such metaphor as that, and the day will come when the glitches will be gone from Apple’s “Touch”. Or perhaps the iPhone will zip along like it's always in a Wi Fi connection, and by that time I‘ll want one. However, at this point, I choose only to be an iPod Classic and Nano kind-of-guy.
