Apple: iPod hit by glitch
"Apple has identified a bug that can cause a small percentage of iPods to temporarily not wake from sleep when the battery reaches a low charge level," the company said on its Web site. Because there is no way to tell which players will have the problem, Apple "strongly recommends" that all iPod owners download and install the update.
The glitch is not the first related to the new device. Last month, Apple warned people with early copies of the device that software provided to install the related iTunes 2 software could, in some cases, delete files from their hard drive. Apple has since provided an updated version of that installer program.
The iPod, a portable music player that can store roughly 1,000 songs on its 5GB hard drive, was introduced in October. --Ian Fried, Special to ZDNet News
