Boy, trouble in paradise already?

As most of you probably already know, a limited quantity of iPod Touches started showing up on store shelves at Apple retail and Best Buy early, and apparently a large enough number of them have been showing up with bad screens to start several discussion threads at iLounge (three or four threads), Macrumors, and most notably Apple's own support forums. Worse yet, Gizmodo and a reviewer from the Washington Post obviously got bum screens on theirs and Engadget has picked up on the story as well. It seems the common complaint is that the affected screens don't just wash out blacks and dark colors, but wash them out to the point that the video almost looks like a photo negative, even viewing the screen straight on.

This dun look good, Lucy!
