Damn it. I just sent my new 4G 40GB - my first iPod - in for work yesterday because it kept rebooting spontaneously. I wish someone had been able to tell me this was coming - I would have at least liked to have tried it before sending my 'pod off for weeks.

Like every other recent update, I'm not touching this one either.

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 (and my 3g 20gb) was getting pretty excited when reading this thread title, before realising that the update didn't apply...

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.
