Quick iPod question!!!
For those of you with newer iPods (with the four buttons), is there a space around your display that is "dead". When viewing the display without the backlighting on, is there about a 1/8" or so border around the display area that is a different color (kinda green) than the gray background of the live area where the menus reside?
Thanks.
I was just looking at my friend's iPod and noticed that. I haven't seen/used enough iPods to know...is it supposed to show gray all the way to the edge of the display?

But that's easily "faked" or doctored. Are iPods supposed to have such a noticeable gap of dead space?
I'll see what some others say. Probably nothing to worry about then.
Thanks again!
I don't notice it much though since I got a few nasty scratches on the LCD and as a result I never take it out of the case anymore. I love the remote.
But again, it doesn't bother me as it still serves its function (quite well I might add.)
Here's Apple's iPod picture from the main iPod page. The border around the LCD is very clear in this and the other pictures I see on the iPod web site.

That's almost not fair, because they photoshop the screen images onto those shots...
That's why I wasn't too keen on going by any pics on Apple's site. But I've got two people here saying "yes, there is a slight green border around the edge...".
So that's comforting.
But I curious to hear from more because it sure does look like a glaring, wasted space. It's REALLY obvious when the backlighting is activated.
Any other iPodders have input?
You'd think after 4000+ posts you'd know the proper place to put a thread
As for "posting in the wrong forum", sue me.
IN my 4000 posts, this is probably a first...so look at it THAT way.
Of course, I'd never say that, buddy.
(in honor of your 4000th post, I'll let her live)
heh

Right but I thought pscates' point was that Apple's iPod images are misleading because they don't show that border. The ones I saw do show the border.
