They seem to be having considerable troubles with various FW packages. The Classic's numerous FW "upgrades" have caused new problems while trying to fix others.

This from an iRiver owner?
The only reason why it's so unusual is that a) iPods have rarely needed a firmware upgrade because in general they did what they were supposed to, unlike some other players which had really quite glaring bugs. Besides, they aren't charging for FW upgrades - they are charging for a block of new apps.
The apps thing set a slightly dodgy precedent for me though.The 'new' apps aren't worth $20 IMO, especially when third party support comes into the picture. $10 would have been a better gesture. I was pretty fortunate, my latest Touch developed a fault within the return period so I returned it, will be buying the 32Gb.
The Touch SQ is adequate IMO. On a par with most iRiver gear if you discount the crap FX that most of you I'm sure insist on introducing into the mix, and I never do. The broken EQ does bother me at times though.
