  Shake to shuffle thing is not working properly in my opinion. Works only when the music player is open and iPod is not locked. There is no point in it because its faster to just push the "next song" spot than shake. If this thing worked while my iPod is locked it would be great, now it's not.

  i believe that stereo bluetooth is completely pointless, the update really was worth it though, now i can make video playlists, use the landscape keyboard... and most importantly in my opinion, the fact that i can now have 11 pages worth of apps, instead of a lousy nine; it made a real difference. The only way that i think apple could improve the ipod touch, is to add actual bluetooth, so that i can send and recieve files. I doubt that this will ever happen though because of the amount of money that would be lost.

  the ipod touch 3.0 update broke my 2nd gen ipod touch. I don't recommend installing it.

  Really wasn't worth the cash Apple asked for it though was it?

  is it just me or does the shake to shuffle function only work a) when the iPod app is open and the phone is unlocked. Once locked I cant get the shake to function

  Upgrading to 3.0 on my ipod touch killed the ability to output videos onto my TV through AV composite cables (says that the cable is not compatible with this device after a few tantalizing seconds of working). This is irritating given that these were the cables recommended by Apple for the ipod touch. Whereas before I was willing to rent videos from itunes and watch them on my tv, this will no longer be the case. Don't know if this is politics or a glitch by Apple. Anyone know?
