Not even two months ago I had purchased a 16Gb iPod Touch, however over the time it has developed two somewhat serious problems. I need your input because I get frusturated thinking about my purchase which put me in the hole. The first problem began around the first week I had owned my iPod. Some how, some way, dirt or lint found its way through the thin crack and directly over my display. I didn't think much of it at the time as it was probably no bigger then 1mm. Although the lint or dirt started out small it began to gather, and now there is one mediumly small speck on the display and probably about another thirty spawning off of it. The "mother" speck is probably only around 3MM in diameter but it interferes with reading fine text and is quite annoying. This has been documented and people claim it is covered by a "default" warranty, but only in Apple stores. There aren't any apple stores anywhere with a 60hr driving radious, and that is out of the question. My second issue has just been elevated today, my volume button is "stuck" in the upright position. I would like to think this started happening two days ago when the button seemed "sensitive" (lightly touch it and the volume goes up) but I can remember this happening off and on ever since I had opened it up from the box it came in. It has never become stuck in this position, but while it is the 3x3 inch square showing that my volume is being changed, I consider the iPod worthless, but only because you can not quietly listen to music, let alone read, watch videos or do anything visual with the iPod device. I have the original everything that it came with and it has absolutely no scratches or marks (I took perfect care of it) but while reading through the light gray text on the back of my Wal-Mart receipt it appears as if my product quality isn't even cared for. The back has this written on it, "30 days with receipt on televisions, Dvd players / recorders, home audio systems, telephones, MP3 Players, GPS Units, post/prepaid phones, etc." which leads me to believe I am completely screwed. Searching my issues on Google just brings me to results with people who simply walk do to their neighbourhood Apple store, say it isn't working and get a brand new iDevice with no questions asked. Do you think I should try and dispute this with Customer Service? Should I go there and say I had lost my receipt but only purchased it 27 days ago? I desperately need your input and am not ready to give up on this amazing iPod just yet. Yours sadly, Kelly2
