I think this is a reason the Zune touch did poorly too.

Zune was not especially great in terms of what it could do, true, but the hardware was also shit. Also, the first gen Zunes all bricked at one point due to some programming error.

I could've sworn the Zune HD's specs were better than the current gen iPod touch.
