Here's the deal. I called apple support. They didn't have any more information other than the stuff i already did (reset, turn wi-fi on/off). They started talking about changing the wireless settings but i kept saying I COULD NOT EVEN TURN ON WI-FI AT ALL. It was as if they never encountered this before. I can't say i have a problem with the tech support though. The darn thing just came out last Friday.
In the end they said they could log a ticket and get back to me if they found out anymore information. I said no thanks, i'll just go back to the apple store and exchange it. They were really cool about it and gave me a new one which works just fine.
So back to when the problem started in the first place. The problem started after about a 2 hour ride in my jeans pocket on a hot day. Yea, it was toasty, but it should be able to handle that (my iPod has been through much worse). I don't know if the heat is what caused the problem, or i just had a lemon. In all my googling, I did find just one other person that had the problem so it could (hopefully) be a rare thing.
