5th Gen. 60 GB iPod Video Lag

My iPod Video (60 GB, 5th Gen.) is lagging badly. Especially the games, although the menus and songs lag sometimes as well. I have never had thisproblem with my mini, but with the Video, this problem has been there since day 1.

lagging... you could say so.
the second post from an owner not really happy with the new 60gb-version. i've got a few issues with that machine.

the new design might be flash but the fact that this plastic-front can come undone so easily... I donno 'bout that.

F *, it's an ipod. It's meant to be carried around as much as I want it to! Isn't that the purpose? Surely, if I go to work and carry my Ipod in some superheavyduty protection until it's finally placed on my desk to sit and wait until I retreat back home... Likley I won't have problems. I've read a lot of comments from people taking that much care but honestly - it's fairly expensive and for that much you should expect very high quality for every single ipod sold.

Mine functions at random although I've taken care of it reasonably. Apple's latest outcome sometimes seems a bit touchy indeed.

LOWA i own the 30 g version of the new iPod Video and i love it! lol, anyways i notices that after i week of owning it which is like yesterday, the action games such as BRICK and PARACHUTE started to LAG and quickly pause every 2 seconds. I logged onto Apple an then i SAW IT, A BRAND NEW FIRMWARE UPGRADE =D i downloaded it and installed it. My iPod is fine again. Games run SO SMOOTH, and the lag between menus are tiny. The new firmware (1.1) also enables your ipod/ipod nano to use the FM remote. So go download the new firmware on this website and FIX YOUR iPod and ITS BUGS!!!! happy iPodding =D
