Okay, I've had this thing for almost a year now, and it was a *vast* improvment over my old 5G, which had horrible battery life and froze constantly. I don't think the 10g has frozen once since I traded up last summer, even after a hard winter of snowboarding with it in my jacket. (I fell a lot!)

So the other night I run the new Apple update (1.3) and suddenly my iPod is freezing left and right with playists that I listen to every day. And now it's doing the old "5 bars one minute-zero the next" battery indicator trick.

Has anyone else had problems like these, or can offer a solution? Can I downgrade the iPod software?

I've had mine since January and it froze too; but I had 1.2.6 on. After I restored it and put 1.3 on it still freezes, but it unlocks maybe 5 seconds later, when before it would stay locked up for five minutes or so. I would call Apple, but I don't know what the hell they'd say. But anyways, I feel ya'. I'm going to wait a few weeks and see how the new iPods are doing and maybe see how Apple will fix my problem. The hard-drive cranks too, which is really freaking odd.
