At the time I was annoyed because I wanted to use the 3G as an external drive on my XP machine, but after 2 prior exchanges I was done fighting Apple.<br /><br />Their quality control, bad as it is, may be better than it was five years ago.<br /><br />George gets the prize for the operational 10GB!JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-75167347965424579662009-09-25T18:40:01.364-05:002009-09-25T18:40:01.364-05:00I have a 10 gig from 2002 and a 4th gen 20 gig, bo...I have a 10 gig from 2002 and a 4th gen 20 gig, both on their original batteries. I have to agree that they are quicker to sync that the USB Classic 160 and the 32gig Touch that i have. My 2002 with the buttons around the circumference of the wheel is still my favorite.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972022544594685150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-16504972762794350472009-09-25T07:39:57.513-05:002009-09-25T07:39:57.513-05:00I think it was never meant to be charged through U...I think it was never meant to be charged through USB. I remember that strange cable which forked in two: one part going to a firewire charger, the other to a usb port. <br /><br />You couldn't sync properly sync over usb without it, the battery would run out very quickly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563773137063858784noreply@blogger.com
