One slight disappointment with iPod Touch

After all the fun and joy with the iPod Touch, I finally found one thing that I'm really, really disappointed with. Random acts of setting the wrong date and time on the iPod Touch. After doing some Googling, then I found out that it seems to occur whenever iTunes is open when Windows go to sleep or hibernate mode, wakes up from sleep or hibernate mode, and the iPod Touch is synchronised with iTunes in such situations.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, I can't leave iTunes open if I'm charging the iPod Touch for a long period without using the computer (in case the computer goes to sleep with iTunes still open, and when I wake it up, the connected iPod Touch will immediately sync with iTunes), and when Windows wakes up, I'll just have to close iTunes and open it again before I plug my iPod Touch in.

The amazing thing is that it's such a common problem that has been around for a long time, yet Apple is doing NOTHING about it. Sigh... Sad.
