I just received my iPod Touch Friday. Overall, I'm loving it. So far the only problem I've had is one dead pixel (still in a dilemma of whether or not to return it, but anyway) I've been playing with a couple of apps I put on while it was charging yesterday just to see what it could all do. I only put four on and I'm not sure if I'm having problems with the two or if it is an issue with my iPod Touch.

iDoodle Lite: I've downloaded this one, I believe there is one you can pay for as well, but I wanted to see what it was first. Anyhow, it seems like this app isn't as responsive as everything else on the Touch. Sometimes I cannot get it draw when I touch the screen, sometimes it won't fill the background color, sometimes when I draw the color will be bolder and sometimes real pale (without changing the setting), etc. I'm not sure if this is a problem with this particular app, or if something else is wrong.

Audi A4 driving challenge: I noticed when I was playing this game that it felt like I had to turn to the right somewhat to go straight, but I thought it was my imagination, or I didn't realize I was leaning a little to the left. However, I tried setting my iPod flat on a level table and the wheel was turned to the side. So again, I'm not sure if this is a problem with the iPod or just the app.

I also downloaded a level app and I also have to turn it to the right to get it near level. The level says 3.6 degrees when I have it sitting on a flat surface.

I've also noticed sometimes the screen doesn't respond very well. Most of the time it really seems quite responsive, but a few times I will try to touch something and it will take several attempts to actually get it to sense I touched it.


Any help is greatly apprciated!

Thanks!

PS. Sorry for the duplicate post, I tried posting yesterday in the other forum (not sure if that was the correct place or not, but I thought it was where I should post this particular question) but I wanted to see if I could get a resonse here. I plan to take it back to Radio Shack tomorrow if I need to exchange it. I probably won't be able to get it until next week since they will need to order it (not sure if I can upgrade the shipping like I did on my original order or not) but I will be leaving next weekend so I'm hoping to get it replaced as soon as possible.

Thanks!
