Yes i agree but sometimes Apple doesn't learn, i cannot see them changing the new iPod now not until the next revision. Not unless they have some sort of rubber cover like some mobile phones have.
Just like all consumer electronics, they are works in progress and i treat them as such.
Maybe next time, they will revise the product again to take into account any new errors that show in this line of ipods.
Already i'm hearing stories about the iTunes music store and problems people are having with them, simple things like a download not finishing and that person wanting to redownload that file again only to be told that they have already done this. Some sort of error checking would of solved this but somehow Apple hasn't thought about that issue and how frequently it could happen. But hey, by the time it reaches the UK maybe they will have corrected this.
