New Ipod Touch

Week 41 here. Absolutely flawless.

 

Even my week 38 iPod touch is perfectly fine. I've heard that week 38 was the batch that was 'fixed', so I would assume that later ipods are the same

 

My week 38 has a bad screen. It is too dark. But the serial number is wierd for week 38's Mine starts with 1D. This is my second my first was replaced. it failed a battery test, crashing test, screen test it was a week 37

 

What exactly is a week 41 and such, what does this terminology stand for?

 

All the iPods that i've seen (not just mine, ive seen about another 6 or so) have lines going across the screen, they are very subtle and only noticable on video playback and coverflow, but they are definitely there and get annoying after a while. I returned my week 42 because of this. I bought another and it was a week 46, which had the negative effect on it. Returned it and the new one is a week 47, this screen has some type of contrast problem - the screen seems to be too light and seems kind of washed out. It also has audio problems, I can hear crackling while listening to music and watching videos. Call me picky if you want, but i've pretty much given up on the iPhone/iPod Touch for now. Maybe i'll give it another go next month.

 

well, based on what I've read here, the week number now is really a non-issue, unless its weeks 37-38. other than that, they are fine, or at least problems that are arising aren't week-related.

 

yeah, they still have the problems, but were in what... week 45? unless your buying it used, you dont really need to worry about getting one from 7-8 weeks back

 

I bought my touch the first day it was released in Spain ( 2nd Oct week )... and when I walked out of the Apple store I noticed it was week 37 !!!

BUT ... mine works fine , no issues with the screen whatsoever

Answer his question guys. Gosh.

The ones that released this past week were Week 46's. Week 47's are the brand new ones, but they might be hard to find.

 

I did. Gosh. Immediately. Check back.

My answer = Week 41. And onward. Flawless. Gosh.

 

Agreed. My week 41 iPod is absolutely flawless.

 

Just picked up a week 43 from Amazon on their Black Friday 10% off sale. I immediately opened it up tonight, updated the firmware and loaded up some songs and videos. Wow, just an incredible piece of engineering.

My wife is making me give it back to her to wrap up and put under the tree. Bummer.

I'm really torn on if I should wait on a 32 gb version. But, if that happens it happens. I just hope it doesn't happen in January. That would really blow.

I have looked at apple's ipod update history and I just don't think there'll be a 32gb upgrade until next summer.

 

I ordered one from the online Apple Store over Thanksgiving. Sucker is flawless! Week 47.

 

I've got a Week 47

Ordered directly from Apple. Got it this morning, and the installation of software is due soon..

 

Neither do I think they will be doing any upgrade to the current line of iPods. I think they will introduce some kind of new MacBook or similar ultraportable device to fill up the gap between the current MacBooks and iPod Touch. By summer time probably the iPhone will get a very nice upgrade.

Week 37 here: I had screen issues, but they were fixed in v1.1.
