betasp Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 http://digg.com/apple/iPod_Touch_screen_pr...ve_Black_Effect I have seen many of the videos, and compared the results to mine, and that is why I think they are merely crushing the blacks and it is not a hardware issue. I suspect there will be a patch soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted September 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 18, 2007 went to the apple store today in columbus ohio and found out that they are currently selling the ipod touch there with both the 8gb version and the 16 gb version. although they are selling them instore and you cannot purchase it with the laser engraved backing to it like you can if you were to order the unit online they do offer you the ability to send it in to have the service done *which is not really worth it because then you have to wait for it and you could have just ordered it online anyway* so i thought i would just let people know that its out in the world and you might just see someone walking down the street with something that looks like an iphone when in fact it is not lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 They've started selling them in UK Apple stores, but online orders haven't shipped yet. Frustrating, considering I'm 3 hours from the nearest Apple store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I just bought one yesterday and I can say I absolutely LOVE it. It's my first iPod (I know, how evil of me) but I'm certainly glad I waited! I can't get enough of this thing. If anyone wants pictures, videos, whatever, let me know.

If possible, try to test the black color issue on some video and picture and see if you get the same problem on the main menu's black, then tell us :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martog Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 My iPod Touch seems to be free of this negative effect thankfully! I'm really digging this new iPod, was a great upgrade from my 3G iPod which was the all touch button interface, no clicking on that one! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If possible, try to test the black color issue on some video and picture and see if you get the same problem on the main menu's black, then tell us :D No such issues here! It's working flawlessly. No strange coloring, no lagging (even in cover flow). Everything is as fluid as it is in the guided tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2007 Frustrating, considering I'm 3 hours from the nearest Apple store. I'm not far from an Apple store. I'm a well established (and long time) member on here. If you wanna do something with regards to me collecting / posting one to you if you pay me back (obviously!), PM me. I'd be happy to do it for a fellow Neowinian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 so i thought i would just let people know that its out in the world and you might just see someone walking down the street with something that looks like an iphone when in fact it is not lol Every time I use it in public, people think it's an iPhone. I then have to explain the difference, and they still don't get it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 How can it be 2:41P and so freaking dark? My shades were down and the only light was coming from the lamp in the background (and my monitor). :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 If possible, try to test the black color issue on some video and picture and see if you get the same problem on the main menu's black, then tell us :D Well...I was just looking at some photos, and I noticed I do indeed have the issue; it is just VERY subtle, but still noticeable. I wonder if Apple will be replacing these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So...leave it to Apple to remove the add button from the calendar, but not change 5 letters in one line of code. What am I talking about, you ask? Observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 When does that message show up? Why 1 minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 When does that message show up? Why 1 minute? It happens if you put in the wrong passcode too many times. It starts at one minute, then if you do it again, 5 minutes, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
