[...] Almost immediately after the iPod touch was released, a number of new owners cried foul over the LCD displays in the device. The complaint was regarding the blacks and dark colors on some devices, which looked either darker than normal or were "blown out" (negative). Many people speculated that the problems were due to some LCD displays leaving the factory without anti-glare coating, but Apple wasn't saying anything. Well, the company is now talking, and has revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the color issues are in fact due to defective screens. [...]

I got an iPod Touch recently and after using it for about two weeks, i am completely disgusted with the battery life. I might have to bring it to the nearest Apple Store and see if i received a defective one.. But honestly i only get about 4 hours of battery life on a full charge with the brightness down near about 25%.

“Brand new, we fully charge, turn it off, wait a couple hours of NO USE WHATSOEVER and the battery WILL be COMPLETELY drained again.”

That’s funny, that’s not been my experience at all. I fully charged mine and left it sitting out overnight without turning it off (so it was just on standby) and the next morning the battery was still fully charged. The battery shouldn’t be losing charge at all if you’re not using it.

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!

The unit will drain the battery down even while powered off!

Brand new, we fully charge, turn it off, wait a couple hours of NO USE WHATSOEVER and the battery WILL be COMPLETELY drained again.

IF YOU BUY ONE, YOU WILL NEED A POWER OUTLET ALWAYS IN ORDER TO USE IT.

The interface and everything is great, it’s just that everytime you want to use the damn thing, it has no battery left.
