I only found out about this problem when Goggling for best prices on the 40Gb model. It has turned me 180 degrees - no way I'm buying one now. I'm looking for alternative models - maybe less stylish, but this iPod fiasco reminded me why I abandoned Apple years ago. The whole control-freak, closed-box Apple mentality (evident from the very first Macs) makes Microsoft look benign.
