Let me start off by saying that I love the Touch, even my soon-to-be-replaced Week 37 model. Great device for video. Folks, don't be afraid or cancel your orders.
But, I've noticed a few glitches in the thing and was wondering what others you've seen. Though we could do a running list pulling these together.
-Auto-brightness/light sensor: doesn't seem to do much; turning off auto-brightness only makes it slightly brighter by a fixed amount. Turned it on at night outside, and my eyes fried - had to manually decrease the brightness almost all the way. Hope for a SOFTWARE fix.
-Battery level: my Touch seems to lose a lot of battery power just by turning on/off - then regain a little after it's on. Also hope this is SOFTWARE - maybe there's a less power-intensive boot procedure they could patch, or it's just the power monitoring software that's bad?
-Safari crashes: Self-explanatory. I've seen a few and read about many more. Obviously a SOFTWARE issue.
-Screens with poor/negative blacks: Sounds resolved by now, just listed for completeness.
And, one wish-list item:
-Playlists for videos: so entire seasons of a show don't clog the menu.
Overall, though, these appear to be software issues, so buy away & wait for updates!
