There are more shops, almost certainly -- the "Nipponbashi expert" at my work recommended this place because he assumed iPhone repair = iPod Touch repair. Which it should, actually. There are also online businesses which will accept shipped iPods to them, so I'll be looking into that with my wife's superior Japanese reading ability tomorrow.
I have AppleCare on my iMac, after the PowerBook problems I mentioned above. Those were interesting, because my friend-at-Apple said he couldn't figure out with the 4 or 5 problems it eventually had, why Apple didn't just REPLACE it, which they apparently do in most cases of repeated failure. So them not being good about that influenced my reaction here, certainly.
But I've actually cooled off a little since last week; my wife pointed out that my anger is likely redirected, suppressed anger at my work for the last few months, since I was too busy and had no time to myself. After thinking about that bombshell for a few moments, I said, "Well, Apple is charging too much for this repair, but you're right."
So I've been thinking about that as well since then.
