iPod Touch, the Dark Side

Well it’s almost 6 days till the iPod Touch is “released” and almost ten for the web orders to arrive. I think it would be a good time before it’s in your hand to tell you some of the not so great parts.
1.Negative Screen Issue:
This has effected a good amount of the earlier ones. Comparing their screen to an iPhone’s screen you can see that some of the color is “washed out” or even inverted. Now, Apple has come out and said that this was only in some of the first ones, but it’s still something that could effect yours.
2.Not the Claimed Battery Life:
Battery life is something that some iPod owners have had good experiences with and some not so great. In Walt Mossberg’s review, he reports that the battery life falls short of Apple’s 22 hours of music and actually gets 17 hours of music . All little disappointing considering the rest of them got their claimed battery life.
3.A Slow Jailbreak
If you were like me and expecting a rapid jailbreak like the iPhone, hold your horses. From what hackers have said, the jailbreaking of the iPod touch is going to be a slow process. It will happen, but just don’t expect to do it the night it’s released. Hopefully once Apple “releases” it more hackers can get their hands on it and help the process.
Hopefully Apple will fix their screen issue and we won’t have that. We just have to live with the other two.

1. They have already addressed this issue. and the next shipments will be fixed. so who cares?
2. ONLY 17 hours, OH NOES!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
3. The Jailbreak will be completed when it is released to the public. the iphone wasnt hacked until it was released to the public, so why did we except the iTouch to be.
P.S F U if you say anything about me saying iTouch.

Ok….
1. Well if you look at it there have been a lot of people with the screen issue. I do trust though that Apple will fix it.
2. The Battery Life is more debatable so people have reported more, some less.
3. The Jailbreak is in progress. It’s not going to get terribly faster considering people are already working on it. There also weren’t iPhones available to the public before the release date like the iPod Touch.
