Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch

Posted by kdawson on from the soft-touch dept.

jesuscash writes "It seems early adopters of the new iPod Touch are out of luck when they bring it home and attempt to connect it to their WPA/WPA2 secured network. Reading this Apple forum thread shows that many tests with different configurations show a no-go on WPA. Some of the last entries give the best clue, revealing a 'received deauthentication' error in their router logs. Apple has yet to respond."

    Step 28 of the Apple Product Cycle. Step 28 for the iPhone was the chipset, so maybe that's the problem with these scratches ... er, blue screens ... er, faulty plastic backs ... er, WPA network errors as well.

    Can I get a WTF?!

    If you can't get WPA or WPA2, then I think your chances of getting a WTF are close to zero.

    As for your comparison with Microsoft, consider what you would be saying if this had happened with the Zune.

    Is this one of those "if a tree falls in the forest would it make a sound" questions?
