Totally acceptable, I reboot my phone daily.. always have (AT&T Network thing), but not out of hardware necessity there is a big difference. I haven't lost any recordings or had to do a restore every 3 months like someone else I know. Oh that's right your last one took a shit and you had to totally replace it. Nevermind! hehehe (Just having some fun with you IRBS)

Also I said it was helpful, not that you absolutely have too. Generally on my iPod Touch I'd go 3 or 4 months without restarting that thing. Try that with your Stiletto DAWG!

Actually, I know several people whose iPods have died within 2 years too. Its the price paid for having them manufatured by 7 year old boys in China.

(and don't worry. I don't take anything you say too seriously. )

I am sure that some have had iPod's die just like any other electronic out there. Quality is certainly not what it use to be in this day of mass production of electronics.

None the less I'd put my iPod Touch and iPhone up against your one trick pony Stiletto as someone else said in another thread. I like that! One trick pony! hehehe

Anyway we are getting way of topic now!

Bottom line is this new firmware update has improved the XM Skydock hardware and software connectivity and that my friend is what it is all about.
