My two children got IPods last week, my son for his graduation, and my daughter who bought hers at Best Buy.
You know all those ads that show the silhouetted guy dancing with his IPod? It would be more realistic to show him suddenly stop and look at it in confusion when it suddenly freezes.
Both brand new IPods have frozen at least once in the one week since they were bought. I thought IPod was a mature device with all the bugs worked out?
My Archos Jukebox freezes, too, when the battery gets low enough, but a recharge fixes it. And if the battery is kept charged, it never freezes at all. It's ugly as sin, no style at all, but it works. And I can change the batteries myself, if I need to.
