Why Apple should recall iPods...
I own the orginal iPod. Purchased in December 2001. The scroll wheel is completely and utterly useless. Unless I am changing settings/songs/what have you, I need to have the iPod in the "Hold" setting. Otherwise the iPod will change volume as I walk down the street, change songs, albums etc.
I love Apple. I think that a recall is merited by Apple's apparent change from 'scroll dial' to 'solid state' in their latest changes to the iPod.
What do you other 'early adopters' think?

I had an original 5GB iPod, and personally, I liked it better than the new solid state wheels. It's a preference thing, but most certainly not a defect. The product was simply improved upon, and Apple should definitely not be obligated to recall a product based on that.

Are you saying that you want Apple to upgrade your iPod to a newer model because it has better features then the old model? I can understand your desire, but companies that did that sort of thing the would go out of business very quickly.

And the problem is...???
No, really--I've got one, and don't know why this is a problem for you. Like a few others have mentioned, I actually prefer the scroll wheel over the solid state--feels more "interactive," if that makes any sense.
But I don't think this warrants a recall. It's normal wear and tear, if you ask me. Similar to a mouse ball getting gummed up and not working 100% right even after cleaning it.
(Oh, did you really pay $499 for it or are you just exaggerating? The 10gig pods didn't come out until after 12/01)
