"This ties in with Apple's recent "Vingle" trademark in several very exciting ways. From Apple's own trademark description:

"Telecommunication services, namely electronic transmission of streamed and downloadable audio and video files via computer and other communications networks. An audio entertainment service that may be available in retail stores."

We believe that "Vingle" stands for a combination between "Video" and "Mingle"....that is, a networked community of Apple customers 'mingling' at an Apple Retail Store or other Vingle-equipped location, sharing public-domain A/V content such as podcasts and vidcasts, and getting direct high-speed access to Apple's copy-protected content offerings.

The socialization angle is something we're curious how Apple will approach; several social-networking technology developers have been hired recently by Cupertino and we presume that "Vingle" won't just be about downloading and file-sharing at Apple retail locations -- but also about social networking ala MySpace, Flickr, et al. from anywhere in the world."

"The unit stands 62” tall and has an included, built-in, full color monitor. It comes with additional A/V inputs that allow (almost) any existing home video game system, DVD player, VCR or any other A/V product to be plugged in and viewed on the built-in monitor." ~ UberReview.com

"The Reverend Kieran McHugh stunned the 900 students of the private Pope John XXIII Regional High School at a recent assembly when he told them that, effective immediately, they would have to dismantle their personal pages on sites such as MySpace.com and Xanga.com and any other blogs, or face suspension.

McHugh said he was taking the unusual measure to protect students from online sexual predators who may be lurking in cyberspace looking for personal information on children, including their pictures, diaries and gossip, according to a report in New Jersey's The Daily Record newspaper."

"You know, it's funny how certain companies, often when they pass a certain financial size, seem to repeat the same mistakes over and over, as if their judgment becomes fatally impaired by success. One such mistake is underestimating the power of a few disgruntled but net-savvy customers, riled firstly by their SCRATCHED IPOD NANOS and secondly by Apple's typically flippant and blase handling of their complaints. Why exactly does a customer have to setup an entire WEBSITE and invite thousands of people to express their frustrations publicly before Apple decides to listen or respond "appropriately"? (I use inverted commas as Apple's EVENTUAL RESPONSE was hardly what I'd personally label as appropriate, all things considered..) The complaints began as a few murmurings on various forums, including OUR OWN, then came the website dedicated to forcing Apple to address the problem and now the story is running in many of the national and international newspapers, tabloids and broadsheets alike; even the radio stations are tittering about it.. I'm currently listening to the UK radio channel TALK SPORT via a net connection, as I do most days, and between discussing the English Premiership and the latest cricket, even they had a 3 minute discussion about iPod nano scratches and the website that forced Apple to finally come clean. The British DAILY TELEGRAPH WRITES: "Apple was cowed this week by a customer who thought his iPod Nano was flawed. Andrew Murray-Watson looks at how Matthew Peterson turned his web skills and sense of outrage into a global campaign which forced the technology giant into a U-turn, and wonders if there are lessons in this story for other companies." Darn right there are lessons to be learned but most importantly by Apple itself, in my most humble opinion, who seems to be rather prone to stroking the fur of their loyal customers in completely the wrong direction. It's not particularly difficult to train a customer service department to pay the customers (who in turn pay their wages) a little respect after they shelled out $250 US for Apple's latest and greatest and if a customer service department will not listen to the customers and pass on the information to people who will in turn listen and act appropriately, then surely it can serve no useful purpose? Ian Fogg, a senior analyst at Jupiter Research, had this to add: "Apple has a fanatical following with huge expectations. It matters more when something goes wrong with an Apple device than for another company." Maybe so, but has Apple pondered that thought, for even a nanosecond?" ~Full Monty

You need to give your iPod a little juice so it can complete the update. Plug your iPod into an electrical outlet, or to your computer (while it is on) to let the iPod update run its natural course. An electrical outlet is preferred.
