Sputnik froze hard en route to Utrecht. Time of death : 12:11 EST. Reset brought up the Sad iPod icon, after which the device powered back down. Tethered to a mac, the device will start, display the Sad iPod icon, then proceed to charge for a few minutes (battery icon), after which it restarts itself and the process repeats.
The iPod does not show up in the Finder, Disk Utility, iTunes or the iPod Updater, which renders it completely impervious to any and all of Apple's recommendations listed in the iPod Support section of the Apple website.
Annoying.
Fortunately the thing is less than a year old, so the warranty should theoretically still apply.
