returned ipod touch 2G-wouldn't charge with older accessories
I just returned from my local Apple store where I returned the ipod touch 2G I had purchased this morning. While they were pleasant and polite and did not charge me the 10% restocking fee, unfortunately, no one had told me the ipod touch 2G would not charge with ANY of my older accessories, including the expensive adapter I had just had installed in my car. Someone at the store said it was a "firewire problem;" all I know is that they changed something major with no notice. I understand that they cannot support older stuff forever, but this seemed a bit much. I looked on the Apple support website and saw a full page of messages by outraged people who had car adapters, expensive Bose speakers and other things. I went to Costco and got an ipod classic, for $10 less than the Apple store charges and with a 90 day no questions asked refund policy. I love Apple's products, but they do seem a bit greedy at times.
