iPod running iOS 6.0.1 is really slow and keeps force closing apps?

I recently bought a brand new iPod touch 4th Gen, 16GB. It's running the latest iOS, which is 6.0.1. However, the iPod is really slow. It takes 4-9 seconds for an app to open, it can take up to 15 seconds for a song to change, EVERY SINGLE APP force closes, even the app store and iTunes. I already restored it as a new iPod three times and i'm still having issued with it. Help!

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1, 4th generation

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
