Is the new iPod Touch more scratch resistant?

One of my gripes with many iPods is the metal back that gets extremely scratched up if you don't have a case. I was looking to get an iPod Touch and I'm wondering if the new stainless steel metal back is more scratch resistant or if it's the same metal back that's been on a bunch of iPods.

Sadly it's the same and just as bad.

  • Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

  • Can I sync my Palm Destop to the new iPod Touch coming out this month?

    I have my calendar and all my contacts on Palm Desktop and I want to start using my new iPod touch (preordered) when I receive it in place of my Palm. Can I transfer the data from the Palm Desktop to the iPod Touch? If so, can I continue to enter appointments on the Palm Desktop if necessary and sync with the new iPod Touch?

  • 3 reasons I won't get the new iPod Touch

    Yes it is thin and appealing but here is why I returned it:
    1- When connected in my car, the new iPod Touch does not charge anymore. It just plays music. My 1st GEN iPod Touch charges and plays music through my factory speakers from the same USB pins.
    2- Not a big fan of ALL the silver shiny back its doomed to be scratched even by just cleaning it with a prefect micro-fiber cloth.
    3-It felt sluggish, I had to press an app or the home button a couple of times to get it to respond.
    I returned it and I am keeping my first GEN 32GB iPod Touch.

    1) The new iPhone and Touch use true USB circuitry - the first Touch and iPhone used FireWire/USB pinouts which is why charging no longer works on some older setups.
    All devices must be using this USB-only setup to charge.
    My Bose SoundDock has the same issue.
    2) Um, the first Touch was also shiny - just not curved. Get a case. Mine is still perfect.
    3) Not sure why other than maybe a bad app. Some apps once removed made my Touch and 3G behave better.
    Bottom line: if you don't like it, don't get/keep it.

  • So... I got the new iPod Touch, and it is stuck in a loop trying to restore after the latest OS update failed...

    I bought the new iPod Touch today, and tried to update to newest software, got an error code "6" and now is in a cycle in which it keeps downloading the update and then telling me the iPod needs restoring... over and over again.  Like Ground Hog Day...
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks!

    for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
    successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer

  • Availability of the new Ipod touch 5g

    No announcement of the exact date.

  • I am very disappointed with the new ipod touch

    So apple adds all of this new stuff to the iphone 4s, dual core a5 chip, all new 8MP camera and optics, and siri. Yay, every iphone customer is happy. This is what you added to the new ipod touch, wait its not new, its the 4th generation with the option of having it in white. Whoop-de-do, you added white to it, besides that you didn't add anything new to it. You have pretty much ditched the ipod touch in my opinion. You have greatly disappointed me apple...

    What I would really like to see in the next gen Touch is 3G or 4G wireless.
    Refillable usage, just like the iPad.  Don't want the "contract" requirements
    of iPhone.  Even if you do by an unlocked iPhone, you can only get
    2 year contract service for data, oh yeah and have to get voice as well.
    I just want wireless data access in my pocket, and the Touch with 3G/4G
    would fit that bill nicely!

  • Where can we find the new iPod Touch 2.0 software to download it?

    I am in the United States in Northern Ca..
    It is Friday early Morning after 12 and after 1, I was wondering if anyone knows if the New iPod Touch software 2.0 is or will be ready soon for download or do we all have to wait till 8 in the morning to download the new 2.0 iPod Touch software?
    Where can we find the new Software at the Apple web site to downlod it? I looked everywhere on the apple web site trying to find a place to download it, does anyone know??
    I have updated the to the new version of iTunes 7.7..
    In the iTunes where I sync my iPod Touch where in the summary section it says "check for Update", next to it, it says "iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 7/15/08", I also hit the back up button and it tells me that 1.1.4 is the current Version, do I have to wait till the 15th for that update??
    I was reading somewhere on the apple web site that in order to update to 2.0 I have to restore my iPod Touch and have a backup, is this just for the iPhone to restore and create a backup? if not then how do I create a 2nd back up?
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Trisha Foster

    the update is ready on the servers but is just waiting to be pushed through to itunes. I am in australia and I contacted apple technical support, that's what they told me. Don't restore your ipod, just wait and when you connect and click on update, it will update your ipod and there will also be an icon on the home page of the itunes store. We are all waiting in anticipation.
