Apple, can we please get an option to disable coverflow?

Question

I have been lurking on these forums for About a month now. Patiently, hoping for Apple to release an option to disable coverflow. I´ve been loyal. I´ve been patient, but still not software update to fix this horrid feature. So far, one of the biggest and most voiced complaints has been on this coverflow feature. People Want -- no, need -- the option to disable it. And that is my only problem with the device.
APPLE, please give us a software fix pronto. As a software developer, I do not understand why this would take so long to do. Can anybody from Apple, who reads this forum, confirm that a software fix will be coming? I know there has been mention of it, but I have seen nothing official from Apple.
If there isn´t a software fix to allow us to turn coverflow off, I plan on getting rid of this device for a Sansa Clip. I bought this device for working out and being on the go, I cannot workout and be on the go, and use this device effectively when I have to constantly take it out of my pocket to adjust the volume. And putting the hold switch on to make sure it does not go into coverflow mode is extremely annoying. I want to be able to adjust it while it is in my pocket. There have been multiple threads on this. Can we have a fix already? And if not, just tell us. I will gladly get another device and hawk this thing on Amazon or Ebay or just flat out return it.
If a fix is coming, somebody from Apple should indicate this, because for me, personally, I am tired of waiting for something that should have been implemented right out of the gates. I can understand if they missed it, but it should have been fixed quickly.
What´s more, coverflow ruins the battery life. Is this just some plot to get the batteries to drain quicker or what? I would bet that Apple´s top selling Ipod is, in fact, the nano, and to not fix this problem might get loyal people like me to thinking, well, ¨Hey, maybe they want people´s batteries to run out quicker so they will buy a new one quicker, no?¨ Perhaps a little too tin foilish on my part, but you have to wonder. To me, the lack of contact regarding it in these forums and the lack of fix has got me to thinking that, and has me seriously considering dropping Apple´s digital media player lineup. It is a simple software fix, is it not?
Honestly, I could understand if this fix was something more complicated, like implementing a codec that needed hardware decoding. I could understand if it would take longer. But what we are talking about here is something to turn the coverflow off. This shouldnt be too difficult. After all, the firmware for the new nano does, in fact, allow us to tirn off shake to shuffle. Why not coverflow?
And, if it is not, if this option cannot be implemented because of some wierd thing with the hardware -- please explain that to us, Apple. I could have easily bought a Zune, or something from Sansa to go workout, but I stuck with Apple because I am loyal and usually the products are good, but this is absurd.
So apple, will there fix a software fix coming shortly?
Or will it be several months down the line (in which case, I will get rid of it)
What is the holdup?
Can somebody from Apple please reply?
An ipod Nano owner. (but for how long?)

Dude, your annoying. I was answering a question, so it would say I have 0 unresolved questions. What if a google search pulled up my question, though not as popular as the original coverflow thread? I know Apple already fixed this issue, but I wanted to make my question answered. A) because it could be helpful, if google pulled up my specific thread and B) I was tired of having an unresolved question in my menu whenever I logged on.
Think about it before you post something idiotic and rude.
If you work for Apple, I am sure you could appreciate this, but probably not.
