I got my touch today and everyone was right about the finger prints lol. When I first got it, the supplied apple cloth worked very well at removing the finger prints, however after a few hours, all it does is spread the oil around, particularly on the back. Anyone know how to clean the ipod using something other than the cloth? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

either keep your hands washed all the time, or just take a cotton cloth or damp sock and wipe the grease off. then wipe with a dry cloth and it should get pretty clear.
e-tronic wipes
My spouse bought Weiman e-tronic wipes. Lint free and Ammonia free. They clean the screen great. They are for plasma & LCD TVs, monitors, cell phones and stereos.

I stuck a Power Support Crystal Film on the face of my iPhone. When it gets printy i just wipe it off with whatever's handy. my t-shirt... paper napkin.
That film seems indestructible and good job too as I don't baby it, clearly!

Steps to a beautiful Touch:
1) Filter water (a brita filter for example) to have a locale for "clean" water.
2) Take a small piece (nickle size) of lint-free cloth or paper towel and dampen it completely with filtered water.
3) Press your fingers between the entirety of the cloth or paper towel to remove excess water.
4) In circular rotations, dampen the entirety of the screen by rubbing against the glass with said cloth or paper towel.
5) Air dry the touch by fanning with it (hold on tight! Don't drop it!)
6) Take your iPod-marked cleaning cloth and shake it to remove dust and impurities.
7) Rub, using the same circular motions, your iPod's screen. Continue until shiny and new.
8) Send e-mail to Apple raising hell they don't have 3rd party app support on the touch.
9) Enjoy.

I'd just use those Clorox disinfecting wipes. That's what I use to clean almost any electronic device I have.

IT'S THERE TO BE USED PEOPLE
don't worry too much about keeping it extra shiny...if it's not going to go outside, why'd you buy it?
Screen wipes/Travel wipes (exactly the same product.. buy the cheapest).
They bring the screen up as good as new.. alas you can't do a lot about the back.

alright thanks for all your input. I will look into getting a microfiber camera cloth, as well as some wipes.
