The iPod update before the last one killed mine.
The 10.3.5 update killed fonts in Quark at our office.
Etc., etc., etc. :D

I have given up hope of Apple updating my software for my 3G iPod. I doubt many new features will come out for the 3Gs as they are no longer in the spotlight and it is more incentive to buy a new iPod. They really should bring all the features to both as the hardware chip must be very similar.
