If any of you know if this sort of screen anomaly is common or not, or experience similar defects, please tell me. If this is uncommon, I'm exchanging it.

Thanks LD. Aexx usually rocks for giving me FREE UNLIMITED WEBSPACE AND BANDWIDTH but it's acting up recently.

You probably put too much pressure on the screen

Mine doesn't do that, but I have a third gen. Better safe than sorry, I guess. See if you can snag the battery before you have to give it back, though- might save you a C note down the line.

Screw the screen, the marketing ploy is ingenius! I'm going to have to look into this.

It's time to take a survey, compare data, and eventually test Chardish's hypothesis. This is absolutely amazing. Maybe I should visit an Apple store, first.

Wow...

I would love them. Send them however possible.

That's why iPods suck. That's why anything by Apple sucks, for that matter.

I wouldn't drop it more than an inch if I were you.

I think I have the same problem.

It isn't noticeable if you're looking at it dead on, or even from a dozen or so degrees in any direction. But once you break past 45 degrees looking at it from the base, you can see it. A nice vertical line that looks like it's only there because of something pushing down on it from inside the iPod.

I don't know why they came out all blurry and such. Oh well. The line is visible.

Edit - Mine is the latest model, too.

I have an IPOD MINI

Does that make a difference?

RE: iPod screen defects?

I have iPod 3g and I have this same "problem." just noticed it when you brought it up, though,

RE: iPod screen defects?

I have noticed that when my iPod is near the computer, or near anything that gives off a slightly magnectic field, the screen gets a little screwy. If you iPod is running fine, then dont worry about it.

WTF is wrong with all of your ipods? I have a 20gig and it is fine. I've had it for about half a year now.
