While many considered the LCD issues plaguing some iPod Touch units a hardware issue, Apple just released a firmware update for the device that appears to fix the problem.
That's the issue many Touch owners are dealing with at the MacRumors forums right now, it APPEARS to fix the problem.
Some forum members speculate that the update, which is a huge 150 MB, alters the contrast and brightness settings of the LCD screen. Others simply believe that the incorrect application of the LCD coating theory was just plain wrong, but that raises the question: Why did Apple admit to shipping faulty units if it could've asked users to wait for an update to fix the issue?
No one can answer that question, but one thing's certain: the update significantly fixes, at least to a degree, the LCD issue.

Now they are selling it, and all of a sudden there is a problem with the lcd...... how?!
Nothing is released and is flawless, software or hardware.

Unfortunately, companies nowadays tend to rest on "we'll patch the firmware"
uploaded an episode of Heroes to it and it looks fine
I would have kept the touch even without this update though, cos o be honest even before it didnt bother me.
I just hope in the next update they unlock iCal so can make changes on the touch instead of on PC and having to sync the changes
Still waiting for mine, hope i won't have the LCD issue.
Either it significantly fixes it or only doesn't.
