Allow me to modify my previous comment,  the new OS has fixed the wireless connection problems I was having on my 2nd Gen iPod touch, however in doing so it has also Fubar'd the battery life,  I'm less happy than I thought I was...

OS4 has fixed the Wifi reception issues that OS3 caused on my ipod Touch ver2. So I'm happy Smile

I have found that My 3G is working a lot better with this new OS update. It actually responds to inputs.

I didn't think Apple ever needed to release fixes? Isn't that what Steve Jobs always used to say was a Microsoft problem?

I had a lot of reception issues with the 4, but the 'Bumper' has solved these. Great phone, couldn't (wouldn't want to) live without it!

over hyped rubbish, the reception issue i mean. had mine iphone 4 a little while now. No problems, except dropping it and smashing the back of it, took it to apple today, replaced for �25 quid (which i thought was reasonable) and only took 10 mins.

Loving the camera, the interface, it hasnt crashed yet either ( touch wood) great little piece of kit.

Cheers for that.

 The ones that were reported when it first came out? Then they released a statement saying if you put some rubber band thing round it then it should be okay.

Do you have a rubber band thing on yours or does it work okay without it?

Also i think it was to do with the way you hold it.

Cheers

What about the reception issues?, is just going to be something that comes with it until iphone 5 comes out?.
