iPod or iDud?
Got a new 20G ipod 3G on Saturday and was getting really excited about my new toy.
However, there's a rainbow on the screen - like its been press down - or distorted, similar to a PDA or calculator... Can this be possible if the screen is enclosed?
It is more obvious from the side in daylight - the contrast on the screen is pretty crap - especially with the backlight on..?
The packaging was sealed, shrink wrapped - not a display model.
There have been several stories of iDuds shipped to Europe/UK in the past few months. Complaints relate to crap screens, headphones, missing parts etc. This is far beyond the battery fiasco..
have I got an iDud?

You can adjust the contrast to your liking. The option is in the Settings menu.
I know my iPod had similar problems after I had forgotten it in my glove compartment of my car. After it cooled to room temperature it was fine, only visible if you held it at a certain angle in the right lighting conditions. Backlight did not seem to be affected.
Hope everything works out for you.
