I work at the Apple Store in Paramus, NJ

Now when you are restoring the Ipod are you restoring it to a backed up version of the ipod or to factory settings.

If it was to factory settings.
You have done everything we would do to fix the situation.

The only thing short of replacing the Ipod the only thing I could think of is having a USB cable issue.

Now this is a very odd issue because restoring it to factory settings and reinstalling itunes should have fixed it.

Unless you didn't uninstall itunes completely.
If you didn't uninstall it properly basically (system preferences) might still be acting as the problem. Sometimes wiping clean the itunes system preferences completely during the uninstall could clear up the issue.

If it is still under warranty I would bring it back and have it replaced.

If it is not.
Because since you have done all the necessary reboots and restores we can't tell what the issue is.

I would check out the Apple Support Forums to see if someone else has had the same problem.
