WTF? I was a little caught off guard that the new iPod Touch has to call home in order to be activated. I would be interested to know exactly what information it is sending back to the mothership. Admittedly, I was not overly surprised that the Touch requires the user to have OS X Tiger installed. Then again this will most likely be a swift kick in the nuts for some customers. Still, I’m annoyed that I have to be reading about some people unboxing their new iPods when here in Canada we have to wait until September 28th for them to start shipping.
From MP3Newswire.net:
It looks like out review of the iPod Touch just came to a crashing halt. For some reason both our Mac and the iTunes application that holds our store bought tunes refused to see it. Even more curious, the iPod Touch would always launch iPhoto, which once open also could not see the device.
We routed around Apple support trying to find what was causing the glitch and found nothing. Just being thorough we clicked on the system compatibility link to confirm what we already knew, that the Touch worked with our system.
That’s when we found that it did not.
