I was playing scrabble and I got a 20% battery notice. My ipod froze, completely. Home button did nothing, power button did nothing. It was frozen for maybe 2-3 minutes and then reset. Tried to open scrabble and it would start and then bump back to the home screen, over and over. Had to delete it and reinstall it from itunes. Hopefully this isn't a problem that will happen again, but wanted to give fair warning, just in case it's a bug.

Another trick to remember when your iPod/iPhone appears to be frozen: hold down the Home button for a few seconds (5?). It seems to force-quit the current application and return you to the home screen.
 
sorry i guess i should have been more clear. I tried holding it for ten seconds. I tried holding the power button for ten seconds or so, and both together for about the same time. Nothing did anything. I don't know if the battery warning had something to do with it, but it happened right when i pushed ok on the warning.
