This one comes hot on the heels of Nintendo announcing the sale of half a million DSi’s in the first week after their US launch:
Apple sold 3.79 million iPhones during the quarter, and 11.01 million iPods – a figure that includes iPod touch devices, although also iPod Shuffles. Apple’s revenues for the quarter from iPhone handset sales, accessory sales and carrier payments topped $1.52 billion.
…
“The sum of iPhone plus iPod touch is now about 37 million units… The iPod touch is the runaway hit and it’s clearly being driven by the App Store.”
Just to keep the numbers in scale…

I bought a refurbished 16gb ipod touch from the apple store, and it showed up defective. It had the same problems mentioned in other articles such as failing to download or play music and movies, and it also would turn itself off and refuse to turn back on. I immediately called Apple. They refused to replace it, and could not guarantee that returning it would result in a repair or replacement. I spent 2 hours with someone from India who spoke broken English, and ended up asking for a refund which will take weeks to process. The phone reps told me that there was no supervisor provided to address complaints. This was all after performing all recomended repairs and downloads, and bringing it to an Apple store. These units have quality control issues, and the online store is a scam. I will still buy it locally for my son, but I will never buy another Apple product.

Hi,
do you want me to forward this to Apple for you or what?
All the best
