Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I downloaded and installed on my iPod Touch 2G. While the extra features were nice, I had MAJOR WiFi connectivity issues that I didn't have under 2.2.1.

Specifically, my Touch dropped WiFi connections in both my home and in most WiFi hotspots. I did all of the usual troubleshooting; reset my home router, the Touch's network settings, did a hard and soft reset, etc.

The problem was resolved when I restored the OS to 2.2.1. I remember a time when Apple didn't release software until it was thoroughly tested and found to be relatively bug-free. Apparently we're now all unpaid beta-testers.

And before anyone comments; yes, I should know better than to download and install a 1st day major upgrade ;)

Yes you should since you object to being an "unpaid bets tester."

...and I notice most of YOUR previous posts deal with whining and bi***ing about minutia such as software version numbers not displaying correctly.

I'm talking about a PAID upgrade for iPod Touch users that isn't working. If I'm PAYING for software, I expect something as essential as wifi to work correctly. If it doesn't, than my touch is little more than a glorified paperweight.

Yes, I object to being an unpaid beta tester. So should you if you're paying for software that doesn't work as advertised.
