Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch 188
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."

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

I'll probably get modded down for this, but there seems to have been a stream of negative Apple/iPod Touch articles lately
It's actually a subtle counter to Engadget's "We compare the iPhone to a plasma TV and find out which is better" articles.

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

I'll bet you a month's subscription to Slashdot that it works on Airports ...
They probably tested it with all the Airport's they could find in the building. What's your problem?

Zune - It takes Apple engineers to make it look good.
I know the WiFi is a latent 'me too' feature of the iPod, but holy crap Apple, between this and your handling of 3G you are starting to make your engineers look really stupid.
(PS This is news worthy, as I know a few people that have been waiting for this device and turning off WPA is probably not going to be an option for them at home, let alone at work where is mandatory.)
