"64 bit doesn't work"
1.5 starson by ca2il2coPros: nice unit, nice screen with some nice features
Cons: I-Tune download will not work with a 64 bit computre
Summary: Just found out through tech support at Apple that anyone with a computer using a 64 bit processor can't use the "Touch" for downloading from I-Tunes. Sync problems occur when connected. It would be nice if Apple would make this fact more up front prior to puchasing this unit. Neither Best Buy or Circuit City has this information on their web sites! Can't believe that with the "Touch" or "I-Phone" being new, it can't sync when connected to all the 64 bit computers being sold today. I can't believe that Apple didn't make it work with a 64 bit processor!!!

Just to clarify, all 64 bit Intel and AMD processors can run 32 bit XP and Vista, which should be no problem. There is ALOT of software that doesn't run in 64 bit Windows. I blame Microsoft and INTEL for that, who discouraged adoption because INTEL was lagging on getting the AMD64 instruction set implemented.<br><br>Still, it's good to know, but probably not a deal breaker for most.
