The zune coulda been the iPod killer if they did wireless right.   I hate iTunes, love the hardware.

Wow that sucks. I bet they'll come out with a firmware update in the next day or two but that's a big programming failure. I mean, I can understand when the new century rolled around everyone was worried about their computers dying but it's just 2009. What's so special about that?.

It wasn't even the year change that did it.

It happened before the calender hit 2009.

Sounds like a built in feature. I'm half expecting the patch to cost $20  [laugh]

if it makes you feel any better, my brothers brand new iPod (not the touch FWIW) is a brick right now as well.
the only thing he can do with it is hold down the receipt while he waits for someone from tech to tell him what to do.

technology sucks. but only because it never works like we expect it to.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
