    When I play YouTube videos on my desktop it's playing fine, but on the iPod touch it's too laggy like in the dial-up age. What's the problem with my iPod? Does anyone know any solution?

    I'm on 3.1.3 and YouTube videos don't even finish loading. 6Mbps connection. Speed tests are ok. I'm sure Apple broke it on purpose since launch of Android. I've had this problem before 3.1.3. Restoring your device is pointless.

    May wanna free some memory. It's most likely a software bug, though.

    Yes.
    OS 3.1.3 is the worse thing Apple could do to their customers.

    On my device YouTube videos have tendency not only to stop bufforing after a while but even to stop the image, turn off the sound and show artifacts.

    Other bad things which OS 3.1.3. causes are:

    1. Black screen in the Safari
    2. Black screen in the Mail application (after sudden ratate of the accelerometer screen turn instantly black. Only restart helps).
    3. Device performance slowdown.

    What did they do to us? I regret I am not working on 3.1.2. anymore.
    Should we mail Steve? :p

    Yes, it works fine usually, but sometimes freaks out.

    Try to use Safari and Mail application more often and You should notice the bug.
